Use glue. Chewing gum just doesn't hold the kit together like they say it will.

Really? I thought maybe I just wasn't using enough. :dunno: What about duct tape then?
They're all good kits. The Mini is perhaps the more challenging of the lot because it's so damn tiny!, and the 959 takes a bit of a struggle to get the body onto the chassis. Otherwise they're all great additions to the stash...

I've been having great success with corn syrup and paste.
On a lighter note they are all great kits. Really can't go wrong with most Tamiya's in my experience.

I built one of the tamiya mini's a while back, maybe 4 years ago, and I don't remember there being any problems at all. I don't remember there being any issues because of it's size.
Now, a 1/43 scale mini may pose problems......
