Great work so far fella, I'm with the guys, I use Tamiya green top and have never had any issues with adhesion.
I used to use Humbrol poly but it evaporated so quickly I stopped wasting my money on it.
Didn't know this was the AFV rebox, good info that!

Hi guys. Regarding the glue issue, i used tamiya green and humbrol, they didn't work well. Then Mr cement blue, that also failed. The solution came with Roket plastc glue. You can see the bottle in the pics. The plastic of this kit reminds Trumpy's early releases like the T55 with the BTU. Used the parts of the headlights guards that were salvagable. They dont look great but will think of something. Assembly is finished hopefully a coat of primer will be sprayed tomorrow.      |

Well, primer is on. For the time being the build will halt. I will be away from home, hopefully for a few days, or longer.   |
