Hi,
I use this brand:

I am not sure if it is available in your part of the world, hopefully it is.
But there are many other glues around I think.

Hope this helps,

Atak zimm kit for Tamiya1/16 KT. Got to say I'm very impressed!! My only concern is that the sheets are very thin and 5 min Araldite isn't the thinnest glue in the world!!

Would evo-stik impact adhesive work, or lino adhesive, although you'd have to be accurate with application, as there wouldn't be any time for adjustment.

I'm going to use noose nails adheisive which somebody else has used on here. It seems ideal and gives you time to align.

I use "No More Nails", a smooth white paste glue that is easy to apply, grabs instantly but remains adjustable for 5 - 10 minutes. It comes in all sizes tubes and is readily available in all DIY stores.

Not only does it spread incredibly thinly, similar to margarine, it also fills any gaps and, rather like the real stuff, can be modelled with a knife blade edge. When l did my Torro KT l used the pre cut set for a different branded model and found a lot of the detailed precut fixing holes had moved but l also bought an uncut sheet to make my own panels and this l recommend.

Perfect solution, better than any super glue or contact gum!
