Help Choosing The Right Glue
I am just starting the MP4/4 and I have the three types of glues. However, the instructions don't say which glue to use at each step, nor do they say what material the parts are so you can choose the right glue. Can anyone help me?
Thank you very much.

Thank you for your suggestion, but the build diary does not specify what glue to use for each step. Maybe I missed it, but I have not been able to find it. It does tell you which three types of glue you need for the model, but not which of the three to use for each step.

The official build notes what type of glue is needed for each stage. It is noted in tools needed and when it is used in the instructions. Link below:- http://forum.model-space...aspx?g=topics&f=162

Hi MIchael, welcome to the forum.I am one of the USA forum support team members.I hope you will consider posting a build diary.I finished my MP 4/4 recently and the official build diary does give you shout outs to which glue to use for each part.I got my glues from Amazon.Michaels in Victor by Eastview Mall also has epoxy, superglue and polystyrene glues.Good to see another upstate New Yorker on the forum.I am in Seneca Falls. The MP4/4 is a great model to build.Goes together very well. Carl
