The best way to glue together Trumpeter 1/350 aircraft, the clear ones

I can't answer your question but I do understand the desire to find the right adhesive for these little aircraft.

I actually built 6 aircraft for my San Francisco of which I thought 4 were good enough to use. Finally I thought three would be fine - two on catapults and one in front of the hangar - but, by inadvertently knocking a couple of the little guys around on my hobby bench, I managed to destroy both of them. I was left with the two I've shown that I attached to the model even though they were not the best ones.

You are right in that CA on these little 1/350 clear plastic planes just doesn't seem to have enough bonding strength. I'd love to hear from others as well regarding their choice of adhesive in these circumstances. I used Gators Grip adhesive on the first couple I tried to put together but that was even less strong.

Looking forward to replies to your post with great interest.

    I wonder what you difficulty is ? I have had no problem with Tamiya's green label glue . I also use theLazer-Light glue as well .   T.B.

I used the Tamiya glue for this one (it's AFV Club, but all clear, just the same)

That was just for the wing/fuselage joint...I used CA for all the rest.

TB,

I've just ordered 3 bottles of Tamiya extra thin cement. The adventure continues .

If you and Fermis have used it with success then that's cetainly recommendation enough for me.

GM,

Have you tried the Tamiya cement? Just curious.

Off topic; Fermis, that's one mighty fine looking little aircraft you've built!

the tamiya extra thin is really good cement  mike , there's a u-tube modeler , andy's hobby headquarter's , use it 90% of the time , I learn't a lot from him , he basiclly does tank's , but the principle is the same .

I have been using tamiya's limonene cement , same as extra thin but it smells of oranges
