Guess you had to wait :nerner:. Any good toy & or model shop sells it. Your right in thinking its the best stuff to use to bond plastic. Maybe Araldite too?.
if it something bigger than models and needs o be tough you can use epoxy, maplin and halfords sell it in a syringe with hardener. sometimes called "liquid metal" too.

Poly cement will do it then but would not be as strong as your proper resins.
LOL at the age of the pictures on the websites that sell Humbrol/Airfix (believe it or not they are the same company) Do you reckon that it is possible to force them to update there pictures cos it cannot be good for business.
Should look like attachment if it has been released yet.

No they are all the same company that we work for Hornby Hobbies so i dont just draw trains i do a lot of box artwork, graphics that are printed on trains a bit for scalextric.
ATM Horby own Hornby, Scalextric, Arnold, Riverrossi, Lima, Jouef, Airfix, Humbrol and now Corgi. It all keeps us busy.
Not me personally but just had a look on the system and yes we did put the graphix on that as those pics are released before the product is made so we have to impose the graphics on blank models.

actually they have both gone bust
But Hornby (model railway people now have them)
They didnt go completely bust they were still in someway operating when we (well not me but i was working for hornby at the time and have been involved with them since i was born) even though it was very diminished.
The company that i work for now does a vast majority of the work for Hornby. We are currently Re-branding Airfix we are just waiting for there marketing Director to get off Holiday and approve it. I have given there Logo an update and we feel that we have bought the branding into the 21st century but you can bet your bottom dollar that it will be rejected by 1 individual who i dont have the highest of opinions of. How they actually make any money really baffles me the Marketing department really IMO dont have a clue.
just the local radio had said they had gone bust
just checked the BBC website and they called the receivers in and Hornby bough it from them

Hornby snaps up Airfix for £2.6m
Airfix scale model of a Buccaneer jet
Airfix's parent firm went into administration in the summer
Model train maker Hornby is to buy fellow UK collectibles business Airfix for £2.6m ($5m).
Hornby will take control of the Airfix model kit company from administrators at Airfix's parent firm Humbrol.
Humbrol went into administration in the summer, and the deal also includes the firm's paints and accessories business.
Hornby made the announcement as it unveiled a pre-tax profit of £1.4m for the six months to 30 September, down from £2.5m for the same time last year.
'Strategic fit'
"We are delighted to have acquired Airfix and Humbrol, both of which are iconic brands in the hobby market," said Hornby chief executive Frank Martin.
This transaction provides the best opportunity to preserve and develop what is an iconic brand
Grant Thornton
"The strategic fit with Hornby is excellent."
In 2005, the Airfix and Humbrol brands had combined sales of £6.5m.
Grant Thornton, Humbrol's administrators, said the deal was in the best interest of the Airfix brand.
"This transaction provides the best opportunity to preserve and develop what is an iconic brand," said joint administrator Keith Hinds.
Hornby said it will move the distribution, sales and marketing of Humbrol and Airfix to its own site in Kent, and outsource the manufacturing and assembly arm.
Humbrol's existing plant in Hull closed when it went into administration with the loss of all jobs but a skeleton crew.
Sales at Hornby dipped to £17.9m in the six months to September, from £18.5m a year earlier.
It put the fall down to the World Cup and the hot summer, which it said was "not conducive to indoor hobby activities".
