Tamiya Quick Setting cement did the trick. The photo below shows the finished main body wrap before application. I wasn't aware of the Apogee generic corrugated wraps (thanks for that tip!), and I'll have to check those out.

I think your homemade wraps give the model a better look and match up well with the perfect edges on your wings and fins. A vacuum molded wrap with it's rounded corrugations would detract from the precision that your built up wraps give the model.
