For resin, PE, and filling gaps, but I don't think the cleanup or potential for disasters (parts stuck to fingers or applicator, drips, foggy clear parts, etc.) is worth the quick drying time.
Meng Models linked to this guy's Me 410 build on YouTube. He does a lot of things I don't agree with, including using CA for the whole build and introducing the video with a creepy looking old guy.

Re: CA all the way???
I use it for Resin, PE and attaching stuff like Bombs etc. post paint.
It would have never occured to me to use it for anything else - for most plastic work I use the normal, Liquid, those pots with the fine applicator needle or sometimes even tube glue applied with a pin/cocktail stick

For most jobs I use the Tamiya Extra Thin.CA for resin,PE and the like.

Re: CA all the way???
I like that and Tamiya Exter (southern for Extra) Thin. I also use good, old Testor's tube glue for things.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Re: CA all the way???
I use CA for resin, PE, vaku canopy and the rigging of biplanes and antenna wire, sometimes for wheels for reducing curing time..

Re: CA all the way???
i am with the majority here: Tamiya Extra Thin for plastic parts. CA for other material or dissimilar bonds to plastic. But I do use CA for glueing bonds between plastic parts that have not the best fit, as the upper fender seams on my MENG T-10M kit. There was some tension betwen the plastic parts, so I fixed them with CA.
As a side note I got myself a bottle of black coloured CA. Much better visibility and it seems to be of a higher quality than the cheap ones.
