Depends on the type of plastic. For styrene any model cement for plastic models will work. I like the brush on liquid type as it's less messy.

I saw your thread about this at the Ultimate RC forums. Go for it, it looks very nice. I have this crazy idea of hooking up an old Monster Beetle body to my Rusty: The only problem is one flip and goodbye cool vintage body! LOL! |
