Re: Car modeling

Even with plastic cement you find significant differences in quality and therefore usefulness.
Stay away from the Testors orange tube, it's good for beginners but once you get into the hobby and start expecting more from your builds, you'll realise it's the enemy.
Try something like Tamiya's liquid cement in the glass bottle for glueing plastic to plastic.

Superglue or CA glue is best for situations where you need a quick set to take place, or when you're glueing resin or metal parts together. For a beginner, you probably won't need it.

Clear parts cement or white glue like Elmer's is essential for glueing in windows and clear parts which you want a glue to dry clear on. Keep superglue away from clear parts at all costs, 99% of the time it will fog the part and ruin the finish.

Post specific questions and we will try to help
