Dont want to go the screw route ? Try this method: Some bodies are molded with a glue flange on one of the halves of the molded parts. If not, you will have to glue on what is called a glue flange. Once a glue flange is established, you can glue on another strip as seen in the pics so that you now have a channel in which the opposite half of the fuselage can fit into. To make sliding the opposite fuse half into the channel easier, offset the top glued on strip a little to allow opposite edge of fuselage half easier to work into slot.
