All:
This is my first post on this forum. I did follow the instructions specifically on searching for this answer but to be honest I'm not exactly sure how to describe it.
I used to be into models heavily when I was a kid (about 40 years ago) long before the internet, forums, etc. I still have some old tools, glue and kits from back then. I recently decided to get back into modeling for a number of reasons. I'm basically starting all over and there is a lot to learn and a lot of different resources for info.
I've started by starting to learn how to properly prep, prime and paint. I always used spray cans but the results were not great. I bought about 15 years ago an aztek 4907 and small hobby compressor I never took out of the box until about 3 weeks ago. My plan is to use and buy some old bodies some of which I have and some of which I have been buying on eBay. I like the larger scale stuff, 1:16, 1:18, etc.
My first question I have is how to I "fix" or "weld" these pieces back together. Both of these cars I bought used and I'm intrigued how do one go about fixing this problem. Any help, advise, techniques would be appreciated.
I know I need to glue these pieces together but what is the best glue for the job? I also have to remove some old glue from previous fix. I also need to have a tool to keep the two pieces inline and tight against each other. I'm sure there is also some type of "putty" work as well to smooth/fill the two pieces into one again.
One body is a testers 959 1:16 and the other is a 1:8 Mercedes Gullwing..both of these are projects and learning experience rebuilds.
TIA.
