Hi Everyone!
I'm in Adelaide, Australia.
I am building the 1:6 Tamiya Harley Davidson Police bike.
Can anyone advise me how to secure the vinyl tubing onto the 'pins' of the model. I have problems with the tubing coming off.
Is there a particular type of glue that I can use?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.

Dab a tiny amount of gel superglue on top of the pin, slide the tube on, 15s later it will be secure.
