Glue or cement one of the most important thing in modelbuilding.

Glue or cement is a personally thing. Two model builder may use different type of glue or cement.

I have four type of glue.

1. Ordinary glue
2. Cement (In a bottle with a pensel)
3. Glue for clear parts
4. Glue for chrome parts

I have to add that Glue for clear parts goes very well to Chrome parts so I didn't need the glue for chrome parts at all.

My first model a WWII fighter plane scale 1:72 was when finished...one big chunk glue...As my uncle said (from memory) Congrats you have build a glue plane with plastic parts.

What's also is important when it comes to glue/cement to parts together is that these parts is clean-Wash the parts and let them dry before connecting them with glue and/or cement.

Cement which is thin is good to create the capillaries effect.

I know that some of my friends here may have more to add or correct me when it comes to glue and cement.
