    Super glue it together then use a soldering iron to weld/ melt all the splits together . push the hot soldering iron tip into the split an work your way along the splits to weld/ melt it together . This works great done it many times. Remove the decals/ stickers first with a hair dryer or heat gun first .

    Hey, did you fix this in the end? I have been looking into plastic welding (for a MUCH smaller job) and searched here for tips.

    Drill a small hole at tge end of the crack (s) before you use the soldering iron to melt back together. It stops it travelling further in the future.

    OK, I have a few repairs to make, some scuffs to the corner of the tail fairings which need filling and sanding and then splits around the mirror mounts so I can try out both options. Thanks for your help!
