Personally, I find the best glue to be cyanoacrylate (super glue)--also called CA. Just a small drop on the kit, position the part and you're done. CA can also be applied with some success over painted parts. I think you could also use CA for your ceramic kits.

Agree 100% with Gip's assessment.

But the main reason for my post was to welcome you to FSM Danny.

I'm sure you'll enjoy the forums here.

Danny,

You can use super glue, 5-minute epoxy, Elmers or clear enamel paint (let it tack up a bit before you apply the part). I have used all of these at one time or another with good results.
