I use Testor's "Model Master Liquid Cement"

It's in a black bottle and has a long slendor spout. Works great.

Just be sure and stay away from the 'sniff proof' glues. They work, for a while. After a few months or a year, you models start to fall apart.

What, your models to fall apart? That isn't much fun.

I've been building for 30 years, and I've always used good ol' Testors model glue in the orange and white tube. I've never had a problem with it, it works fine, and it's inexpensive. For clear parts like windows and lights, I use watch crystal cement from Micromark. I built my 1/8-scale GS several years ago and it's still in one piece

I use Testors, in the red/orange tube, and apply it with a toothpick. My models hold up very well.

Cool ,, i will need to "lube" this model (1/4 scale working sbc) a long time ago i used "food" grade silicone as a lube . but the clinder's are clear and i don't want any yellowing or clouding.. is it still the best thing to use ????
