I just bought my first building kit and dont know what kind of glue to use?
It depends on the type of material in the kit.
For wood I like Titebond - make sure it's fresh.
For plastic I use Testor's liquid cement.
For dissimilar material like metal to wood or plastic to wood I use Walther's Goo or epoxy.
Others will have other favorites.
Enjoy

I would recomend the above but also would like to add some CA or more commonly called "Super Glues" to the list of glues. Some plastic kits are not styrene plastic and of course styrene glues won't work. You'll find this out pretty quick. If the parts don't stick after a few minutes or falls apart when handled the next day, use super glue. The only problem with CA is, once open I can't seem to use it fast enough before it dries out. I guess I could just use it until it's gone, but I really prefer styrene glue for styrene. I've been having good luck with Plastruct Weldene on thinner plastics, (I have trouble with the thicker DPM walls bonding. I assume it's me) and it is non-toxic. Smells like citrus too.
