To get my feet wet in 1/35 Scale dug out an old kit from MK35 their A084 Tractor.  Please advise what glue the members of the form are using now that would work with MK35 & Tamiya.

Thanks,

For injection molded plsstic, like Tamiya, Dragon, etc. I use the Plastruct liquid cement....I use an old small pintbrush to apply.

Not sure if the MK35 kit is resin.....but for resin, I use the heavier/thicker ACC (pihk label...pplied with a toothpick) ...and occasionally the thin ACC (blue label...applied with a toothpick). This is that generic ACC tht you see in hobby shops where they have their own name printed on it.
I am an unreliable witness to my own existence.

In the corners of my mind there is a circus....

You can also use 5-minute epoxy for bonding resin.

And if there are huge gaps I like to use two part sculpting putty (usually for figures) like Magic Sculpt or Aves Apoxie,
you can smooth/feather it with a water moistened brush before it has set up.
