Gluing metal to plastic?

I want to add some details to a vinyl kit that are made of metal, should I use regular CA?

Personally, I hate CA in almost every incarnation, so I use epoxy for this sort of thing.

Same here- Epoxy is best for that sort of thing. CA sticks well but has no strength - it can pop to dust with any flexing/pressure.

Metal to vinyl? Epoxy is probably your best bet. CA tends to have issues adhering to vinyl.

I also suggest that you pin it as well. this will add to the stabilty of the bond. if the vinyl is filled with foam or plaster that is even batter.
