Hi,
I used a good quality white PVA for the majority of the hull construction including the planking.This is much stronger than the model glue supplied.
Just as a point of interest no pins were used to secure the planks, just rubber bands until the glue had set.
Look forward to seeing your build diary in the future.
Happy building

Hi Johny welcome to the forum.

Agree a good quality PVA wood glue in the main, you will need a couple of other adhesives along the way

looking forward to seeing some pics of your build when you get going.
