Looks like resin. Superglue is IMHO the best bet, some builders like 2C glue, too. Normal styrene glue is useless in this case.

Superglue for resin or 2 pac epoxy..as Dizzy said...plastic glue is utterly useless...also make sure you give the resin a nice cleaning to get rid of any release agents and you'll be good to go  :thumbsup:
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .

Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

We are not realy shure about the definition of RESIN in different countries ( my wife is a biochemical scientist doctor ) ,it seems to have different meaning in England and USA ,  so thank you very much for the advice .  I will check out and tell you .

Not a problem mate  :thumbsup:
I've built a ton of models with resin up grades and full resin kits so yeah you get used to playing with this stuff fast.
I've got a Legend 35th scale Max Pro MRAP full resin kit to build...at some point  :unsure: and I'll use 3 different types of superglue to put it together..thin..medium and thick as it's also got a heap of PE with it to.
It's a crap load of work  :-\  ;D

From Hobbylinc today;

Kinetic 1/48 CF-5A Freedom Fighter.

Looks a nice little kit, but not a fan of Kinetic's earlier flimsy end-opening boxes. 
So I got that going for me...which is nice....

Oh WOW! I've never seen a Marut kit before, ever. So that's amazing, well done you.

I had a small parcel from the Big H today, a set of resin wheels-tires and a LARGE etched brass detail set for a 1/72 Concorde. Yes, THAT Concorde kit! It even has etched brass windscreen wipers for the windscreen that's INSIDE the raised visor.  :o

I didn't know anyone did detail sets for it, so bought one of each.  ;D
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Regards
Kit

It's cast two-part polyurethane resin and as such is resistant to solvent glues. Assembly requires cyanoacrylate
(super glue), epoxy or polyurethane adhesives.

In the petrochemical industry and paint industries resin is used as a general descriptor. It's an extension of the
old term originally used to describe natural resins because of the artificial compounds similarity in appearance
and characteristics.

Thinking as it in itself being different but it may have a different owner but still Axis. Lots of potential for the operator as in German colour scheme, defence of the Reich and all that.

Received this beast today..



Don't know if this has ever happened to any of you but, i contacted a guy who was selling one of these F-15 kits on scalemates, he asked to confirm if i wanted it cause there's another buyer interested and i did on the same day.
Then he took quite a few days to reply and in the meantime marked the kit as sold. I thought he'd sold it to the other buyer so, when he answered back saying the kit was mine, i'd already ordered it from a Spanish shop...
So, i stand by my word and i said i wanted it so, i wasn't going back and i'm now waiting for the second of these beauties... Lots of goodies in these Academy kits. :mellow:
I may even be foolish enough to get the F-15E that's on the shelf of the shop i visited last week... :rolleyes:



Second kit delivered today!  :thumbsup:
