Hi everyone! I'm a new member here but a longtime member on Rebelscum as I have a few Master Replicas and eFX studio scale Star Wars ships.
Recently, I was lucky enough to pick up a sealed Chronicle Collectibles Buck Rogers Starfighter but unlucky that it was damaged when I opened it. It's a beautiful ship and I'm still happy to have it, but I need help with how to repair it. One of the thrusters snapped off. It's a clean-ish break. Seems easy enough to just glue it back on but I was wondering what type of glue I should use. I don't have any modeling skills and I don't want to risk damaging it more, so I don't think I should try to scrape some of the old glue off. It's a clean fit when I have it rotated to the right spot. Would E6000 glue work or is there something better?
The thruster has some weight to it, so I want to use a glue that will hold strong.
Also, the squadron color sticker on the right side was applied carelessly. Other than that, the rest of the ship looks good. Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide!
