i have superglue, but after reading the section in pack 22, it says that this is least desirable for the display body, and it also says:
"For your model, only adhesives that are made specifically for use on
polystyrene are suitable.
Ordinary superglue will also work on HIPS, but it is less
satisfactory because the crystalline layer that it forms when
it dries will not be transparent, it will be opaque white.
While this is hardly noticeable when it is used for
connecting the body segments together, because the joins
are hidden, if you use it when attaching small parts, such as
the antenna, the edges of the bonding area will be visible.
Also, there is a possibility that superglue may prevent paint
or varnish from adhering properly
Another disadvantage of superglue is that it attaches the
parts together indirectly rather than welding them
together, so the join is less stable and less impact-resistant
than one made with plastic adhesive. This is only an
advantage if you want to have the option of undoing the
adhesive bond again. As a rule, using plastic adhesive is the
better choice."
so i was asking what glues are best to use in this case? what type/make/brand of plastic adhesive would be recommended? this part of the build is where i am least experienced and want to do the best job possible
