revell Peterbilt kit

[K Trailers]

Has anyone had trouble with the revell Peterbilt 359 I think rig kit staying together. I've used the testers blue tube then used the red tube glue. Still having trouble with it like I wanna throw the thing.

I what respect are you talking about staying together. Is it the Revell Snap Tite or Revell of Germany?

throw that junk away and find you a liquid or a CA (super glue medium or thick) that you like.. everyone has their own opinion on glue . for liquid i like plastruct plastic weld & weld on 4..Ca glue's i get mine off eBay along with kickers, tips & de-bounder..i use mostly medium & thick CA with a kicker while im building..in all my building years (and im pretty darn old) i found out you dont have to buy that brand name Ca glue ..its all the same..

Like mixer,,if it is a snap kit you need ca glue.if a glue kit find a good model glue.

Yep, even with the “snap” 359, it’s best to glue it. And like it’s been posted above, CA (super) glue and the liquid solvent cements are best no matter which kit it is, they’ll make your building process go so much better. For clear parts, use canopy glue or Micro Krystal Klear.

The body as well as body on the frame. It's a complete pain in the butt to stay together.

For close fitting seams I use Tamiya quick setting cement in the square green bottle. Seams with gaps I will use 5 minute epoxy or  good old Testors red tube glue.  Superglue (CA) in thin, medium or thick is also very popular with a lot of folks on here. Make sure to get rid of flash to get the best fit possible.

Ok, that's the glue kit, the snap kit has the smaller sleeper.

I agree with what the others have posted, you need a selection of glues for different purposes.
