Some 1:600 scale aircraft models are multi-part and require assembly. For metal models, what glue do you prefer? |
| Pictors Studio | 06 Oct 2011 5:57 p.m. PST |
super glue. I usually use the purple cap stuff or the gorilla super glue. |

I use magnetic mounting, and worry that superglue might not handle the stresses (if someone picks a jet off the stand by the tail, instead of the wings, for instance). But the non-superglues can be hard to control – I wouldn't want to get glue globs on the planes… |

Super Glue/Gel. The Gel is thicker and doesn't run like the more liquid regular Super Glue. Robert My 1/600 scale aircraft Wargaming Yahoo Group

Slow Zap, I also use it to bind the magnets. Is much tougher than standard super glue. zapglue.com/Slow.html |

Superglue – gel for bulk use or curved surfaces, and I use running liquid superglue to flow into joints that are awkward to directly apply to or once a dollop of gel form has held everything in place |
