The best type of glue to use for assembling a plastic model airplane can vary depending on the model, but typically, polystyrene cement (also known as model cement) is the most commonly used adhesive. This cement acts by melting the plastic slightly, allowing the parts to fuse together as the glue dries. It ensures a strong and durable bond. Always use it sparingly and in a well-ventilated area, as it is quite strong. Some smaller and more precise model parts may benefit from the use of super glue instead. As always, be sure to follow the specific instructions provided with your model kit.
