IF you're lucky, you may be able to simply press them together and then touch the seam with a dab of plastic cement loaded on a brush.

Or, another way I have done, if the model is already finished, is to load a bit of CA glue onto the pointy end of a straight pin. Then, drag that end along the seam. IT only takes a bit and you need to develop a feel for it, but the pointed end is the trick behind this. You may want to practice on a couple of pieces of scrap. But, the method, when done right, is invisible. It's the way I fix contest day hiccups.

I hope this helps.
