Blaster, I guess I should have clarified it better. Where handles and other items meet the hull there are small weld beads that hold the object to the hull. You find gaps in these areas on kits especially on older Tamiya kits. What I want to simulate is a smooth joint between the handle etc. to the hull. I just haven't hit the mark with thick super glue so I'm looking for something else. Hope you have some good ideas! Thanks!![]()

I have a simple solution: Get some Tamiya Extra Thin cement
Sounds good. I'm pretty sure that my local store doesn't carry it. Do you know of anywhere it is available online?![]()

I have a simple solution: Get some Tamiya Extra Thin cement (best cement I've ever used) and apply a little more than you would to just normally bond parts, pressing down on the part helps as well as it creates a little bubble of melted plastic around the joint. This will melt a little more plastic than necessary, but that is fine. In fact, that's what you want. Let it stand for a minute or so (stuff dries pretty quickly), then with a sharp tip (I use a scribing tool) make small indentations around the base, simulating small weld beads. Works like a charm for those small little joints where you don't feel like breaking out the putty or similar method for replicating a weld bead.
