I have always used Model Master Glue glue for assembling plastic models, because it had that nice metal fine nozzle, but sadly Testors has discontinued it. The only plastic cement I can find has the plastic nozzles that squirt glue everywhere. Does anyone know of a brand that has a really fine tip like Model Masters had? Thx.

Revell Contacta Professional is very similar to the Testors stuff.

An alternative that's different is Tamiya Extra Thin, the application method is a bit different in that you hold the parts together and apply it to the outside of the joint using an included brush, the glue is so thin that it wicks into the join and bonds it solid. The brush is part of the cap of the bottle so you don't need to worry about cleaning it or anything.

Tamiya extra thin is apparently the same as Tamiya Airbrush Cleaner (can't say I've tested it myself, but other people tell me they're the same) so if you ever run out you can buy the airbrush cleaner and just top up your bottle.

Thank you. I'll have to try the Contacta. Working thru my Pile of Shame, so many GW kits have tiny bitz and small joins, sometimes it looks like I am dipping the parts in glue.
