If the wife is really quick in the hairdressers, no problem at all, just glue. My wife is really quick - well 2 hours or so, I mean seriously, what could possibly happen in a model shop in that time, barely enough time to browse really.

Wait until you see the whole range of different types of glue available. You start off with a tube of cement, then next day you decide you need a bottle of Liquid Poly. Then to put the canopy on you want some PVA so it's another trip to the shop. Next time the cement is just a bit too thick and the Liquid Poly evaporates too quick so you want a Liquid Cement.
Meanwhile your glue has probably set you back about 200 quid in rare and hard to find kits you 'needed'. They are the ones that you are worried might not be made for much longer and you have always fancied one. So now you need some more paint. While you get that you realise the Liquid Cement you bought isn't quite the consistency you wanted so you might just try the Revel one instead.
I wonder how those weathering powders work, and that new grass looks really good, if only I had a nice tank to go with it?.................
You may as well admit defeat now, it's a lifelong disease!!

Yeah! But which glue?
Poly thick; medium or thin? Tube, dropper or brush? Liquid Poly? CA thick, medium or thin? Tube, dropper or brush? PVA? Canopy glue? What about chromed parts?
You should get some of each to be sure you can fix anything. Having bought all that, you'll need sanding sticks and polishers in case you spill some and fillers in case you missed a bit.
Now, how long do they take to dry? Best get some clamps - you can't sit there all night holding the bits in your hand!
If you spill any on your paintwork, you're gonna have to re-paint so better make sure you've got plenty of the paints you'll be using. Have you got enough thinner and cleaner to suit your paint types? You won't need to re-paint the whole thing so you'll need masking tape.
Oh gods! Nearly forgot. What about fixing your decals? You'll need something for them. Of course, you'll need to make sure they don't 'silver' so gloss varnish is a must-have - then you'll need satin and/or matt varnish to bring the surface back to the finish it needs. Then your washes etc. - see re-painting above.
Then you need to make sure you've got something with resin to try your CA on, PE to try out your PVA and CA, (you'll need some good tweezers for handling the PE), a canopy ('cos you've only got armour) or chrome ('cos you've only got military). No good buying all those glues if you've got nothing to use them on - right?
And what about that superb build you saw on the forum last night? Gotta inspire you to have a go at one of them hasn't it? Oh look! They've got it on special offer .....
