Can anyone help I have built a spitfire at 1:24 scale and I cant seem to get the two halfs of the pilot to glue toghter and just wondered if anyone has any ideas how to stick them.

Try some 5 or 10 minute Epoxy that might work -
What have you tried so far? Epoxy is going to be a hell of a job to clean up around the seams!

I have tried the normal glue for kits I was wondering about white PVA glue.Originally posted by \Comment

Try Some Gator Glue, that stuff will stick like Sh*t to a blanket!

I'm surprised that didn't work,they must have changed him since I built one of these. It was a long time ago.
I'd suggest cleaning up the surfaces to be joined as best you can and then trying superglue. Remember superglue goes off,so if you haven't got some on the go that you know is okay I'd get s fresh tube. White glue may work but it doesn't give the strongest joint.

Is there any odour from it?Originally posted by \Comment

None whatsoever, it is a nice acrylic/water based glue that sticks in minutes and can be cleaned without too much work if you use too much. I got mine from John here on the site.Might be worth getting some and giving it a go. Other than that the only othr suggestion is Super Glue but you know what that is like if you do not get the match of the parts first time:emo2:Originally posted by \Comment

Have a look on the home page at scale models shop, John who runs the site sells it, that is where I got my pot from
