Most brands of superglue will cause clouding on acrylic, especially if you use a great big dollop of it! For this reason, avoid cheap, runny superglues and look for clear-drying, acrylic-safe superglues such as Loctite Super Glue gel.
This is pretty much any polystyrene cement, plastic cement, model glue, etc, as seen here . Any model or toy shop will sell something suitable, you probably already have some in your toolbox. Be aware that as the glue works by melting the surface of the plastic, use it sparingly to get the best finish possible.
This is the best option for attaching plastic models. Also known as Dichloromethane or Dichlo, the most common brand is EMA Plasticweld. Use it by holding the parts to be glued together and brush a small amount of it along the join. The join will be nearly invisible and very strong.

We accept no responsibility for any bad things that may happen if you use any of them, eat the glue, glue your hands to a passing helicopter, etc, etc.Essentially bathroom or plumber's adhesive, silicon adhesive dries clear but takes a while to set properly. On the plus side, it can be smeared around easily and gives you time to reposition parts unlike superglue.
