What glue do you use when assembling the Battlefront plastic tanks for Team Yankee? |

Loctite Gel Control Super Glue for me. |

Ordinary polystyrene cement as they are made from polystyrene. I use the same stuff on Plastic Soldier Company, Perry, Victrix, Airfix and every other polystyrene kit. As many will know, it dissolves the surface of the joint enough to make a proper bond. It is as cheap as chips and you can brush it on(Tamiya) or get a bottle with an incredibly fine metal neck/nib (Testor's). |

Testors Model Glue with the long metal tip. You can apply it very neatly into small cracks and crevices. Available at many locations. |

Testors or Tamiya cement. |

Testors liquid cement, as mentioned above. Creates a better, cleaner bond than superglue. I have been building plastic models for over 30 years. Damon. |

Humbrol liquid poly cement |

Tamiya extra liquid cement. Used Revell contacta for twenty odd years but went back to liquid cement because it's more versatile. Got a gap between the hull and top ? clamp them together, apply glue through capillary action and leave it for a while, MUCH harder to do this with needlenose cement. |

Brush-on Tamiya plastics glue. Quick bond without the mess. |

Usually Testors,the red or blue tube variety,and when needing to fix something. Resin/white metal;usually Gorilla Glue gel. |

Plastruct Plasti-Weld for the plastic models, superglue for the resin/metal models. |
