Testors 3509C Testors Plastic Cement Value Pack

holds tight

I had recently purchased a "pro built" plastic Spitfire, in 1/48, that arrived with both landing gears separated from the airframe. It appeared broken where it connects to the airframe.So, I had to re-glue both plastic landing gears to the plastic airframe.Since I had/have no experience with glueing plastic models, I purchased both the Tamiya Thin Cement, and TESTORS Cement for Plastic Models, (in case either glue failed). I tried the Tamiya cement first, and It failed even after several attempts at holding the landing gear in place for over 4 minutes.The next day, I tried the Testors glue. I held each landing gears, (one at a time, to the airframe for less than a minute, and each held fast. Both landing gears stayed in place, and the glued connection remained flexible enough to allowed adjustments, without coming unglued. Since the airframe is light weight, I set it on it's landing gear after about 5 hours. Also, while gluing the landing gear I inadvertently broke off the antenna, so I re-glued that too. A week later, all the glued connections of holding fast.With that success, I tried to glue another landing gear (just one) that had broken off. This one from a die-cast FW190D, scale 1/72, that I was having trouble gluing with super glue (medium weight).After about a minute of holding the plastic landing gear to the die-cast fame, the Testors glue held the landing gear in place, and remained flexible enough to adjust its position to match the unbroken one. Although it appeared dried solid after a couple of hours, I did not set the heavy airframe on its landing gear until the next day, just to make sure!A week later, the plastic landing gear is still holding the heavy diecast airframe!

I've always used Testors. It can be hard to find at times, so I am glad to get it here. Quick shipping, arrived safely, and a good price.

Works great , I have not used it that much yet

Glue works but comes out too fast

Good purchase

Glued my model together great

I found this for a friend. It's the only thing he will use on his projects. The smell isn't too bad. Good value for the money. He says it is easy to use and the right size as he had. I will buy again.
