Glue
 
Hi guys. What is the best glue to use on Tamiya plastic on a grand hauler.
Thank you in advance.

My experience:
White Tamiya plastic to white Tamiya plastic or other styrene: Tamiya plastic cement is great. It's a solvent that melts the pieces together.
Black Tamiya plastic: CA glue?
Tamiya plastic to something else: Probably CA glue.
Glue pieces to finished painted surface: CA glue works, but may damage paint surface. Something water based and child safe is slow but seems to work.
Clear plastic pieces: Do NOT use plastic cement or normal CA glue. The solvents frosts the clear plastic. Solvent free "foam safe" CA glue or something water based works.

I'll probably will hear about this, but don't forget about the thin double sided tape that Tamiya provides in kits. I use it in places I'm worried about paint damage. (accessories) Clean surface first for tighter bond. Can't use it every where (not strong enough) but keep in mind. Always reversible and safe.
