I prefer plastic weld by Plastruct

Or Testors with needle or the tried and tested Testors red tube with a reducing tip

Plastic Weld every time, it's a solvent based glue that melts the plastic at the join and evaporates leaving a join as strong as the surrounding plastic.

But use sparingly a little goes a long way.

Weld-On 3 and 4 work well.

Tamiya extra thin (green cap).

 

[Gigatron]

Ambroid Pro-Weld

Tenax 7R

MicroMark Same Stuff

Tamiya Extra Thin - my personal weapon of choice

Pretty much all the same stuff. If you have an industrial supply store close by, you can get MeK by the gallon, which is the active ingredient in all of these glues.

Stay away from testors red tube and especially the blue tube. They're both worthless and excell at only getting gluey fingerprints all over your model.

In a pinch, you can use hardware store Lacquer Thinner. It acts the same as the liquid cements. And it's dirt cheap.
