hi GT, i managed to get the cupola off in the end the way you did. the air pipes were tacked on with CA by the look of it, but as i was changing them anyway i lust put a slit near the end and peeled them off. thanks for the suggestions anyway as it all helps in the end.

Den.

It's not as thick as it looks and Heng Long seem to have used a whole tube of cement to attach the thing. It took about 2 hours to get it off and it cracked in the corner (thankfully I was able to repair with some putty)

That is an exact description of what happened to me as well,
I find the Heng Long Glue doesn't melt the plastic together like humbrol cement (or the liquid that I prefer to use) but is a clear hard setting glue, I bought a similar glue from my local hardware store its just called plastic glue but found it had no instructions on removing the glue as I had hoped.
