I know this is a stupid question but here goes. I have just purchased a 1/144 scale model of titanic from billing boats. This is my first wood model build and am wondering what type off glue is best for building the ships keels, fixing the planking, decks etc?Confused Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Regards Shaun

BigGrin Hi Shaun

I generally just use Aliphatic glue for wood now as it soaks into the joints making a stronger bond than normal PVA glue, link below to CMB

You may get it cheaper on flee-bay, but remember that buying a 5 lt bottle is only a saving if you are going to use it up quickly as its shelf life is around 12 months
