Hi Alan, Just got back from a weekend away and read your post, I think you can use several types, for my build the plates are drilled and screwed together, and were I did glue ( around the tail fin ) I used Gorilla, but I think others use gel super glue which will give you time to move it if need. Regards Trev. Work in progress: Tombstone (Scratch) - San Francisco 2. -The Mayflower ( scratch by plan).

Hello Trev
Hope you had a good weekend?
I messed up the very first wing plate-fitted it the wrong way round!
Never mind. I've got some of the gel glue so will have a little practice beforehand, don't want to make the same mistake again.
Thanks for the suggestions.
Cheers
Alan

Many builders use "Evo-Stik Timebond" for gluing skin plates or copper tiling on Ship hulls. Its a contact adhesive which gives time to position before bonding permanenlty, available in tubes and tin's.

Be mindful that some glues (such as standard Superglue), become brittle when set, which over time can cause a plate to pop-off. Superglue ultra gel is rubber toughened and is more resistant to knocks and vibration.

Thanks Mr T
I'll experiment with a few I think. Be worth it in the long run
