Revell Kit Question

[SilyBlonde666]

Hi, I just bought a Revell Civic Si kit and tried to put it together. The manual says piece the engine together and I tried but they don't stay together. Am I supposed to cement them together? It doesn't have the little picture telling me to cement them. I jus don't wanna mess it up, lol. Thanks!

Yes. In the SKILL 2 kits issued by several model manufacturers alot of parts need to be cemented together.

In a SKILL 1 everything snaps together, so no cement is required.

In your case, however, you have a SKILL 2 model kit. Several pieces require cement to hold themselves to each other.

A tip if you're using Testors cement in the tube (orange, green, or blue) don't glob the glue on. If you carefully squeeze a little out , or put some on the end of a toothpic and you can apply the cement. I've globbed Testors Tube Cement on my parts before and it melts, and dents the plastic. So, take your time and do it slowly, not really dry (cement on part) but not gobs of it either.

I guarantee the part will look great.

Good luck with your Honda.

ive got testors too...heres a tip. Blob some out onto a piece of paper. Use an old knife blade to put the glue on...or a toothpick.
