You would have to test them. Most of the clear ones are a PETG or variant, and can be glued that way, including solvent based glues (to themselves and other styrene). But many are not styrene, but polypropylene. And damn near nothing sticks to it. Same with polyethylenes.

I got me a little resin nostromo model, and It was looking for some plastic to use, then I spied a diet coke bottle, its molded in silver plastic and I thought to myself......right on!
