Never used victrix before so question: which glue to use? Could normal modelling glue as eg revell be used? |

Polystyrene cement. Liquid is easiest to apply |

I use Testors. No real problems but you have to be sure that the surfaces of the joints are free from flash/sprue bumps. If you prime before assembly, try to give the joint surfaces a once-over with an Emory board or light sandpaper. |

I use the Revell plastic cement, both versions (brush and the small pipes). No problems whatsoever. If it breaks later, it is not the glued joint. |

Plastruct Plastic Weld works for me. |

Tamiya liquid glue, which is also similar to Plastruct Plastic Weld, same compound as a base, Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK), but both are more refined with a lot less odor. |
