Thanks for the replies. It's been very helpful.

I'm working on the 1/537 Reliant at the moment. However, I'm not happy with the paint job I've put down. I've done research into paint removers for enamel paint and decided that Purple Power will be what I use. My question is, will it harm the glue? I've used Tenax 7R by the way.

I've learned an important lesson. I used CA because at the time, it held fast and strong. Luckily I have some plastic weld to fix these. I just had no idea that this would happen.

I've used superglue to assemble some of my models but I've found out that it seems to not hold for a long time. What I mean is that I've assembled a model and then months later, it comes apart.

What do you all think?
