Maybe avoid the AK Black Widow product? I've heard that it is stringy and difficult to apply. No such problems with BSI (Bob Smith Industries) IC-2000 Rubber-Toughened CA glue that I use.

That's the one I use and I have issues with the tip clogging but it works well.
The first debonder I used attacked the Italeri plastic on my Hawk. Then I followed John's advice and got the Great Planes Pro Debonder and I've become a fan. Makes some jobs sooooo easy.

I know exactly what you mean. I have used Bob Smith Debonder and it crazed the plastic on one of my kits. Can’t recall which one but I thinking it was the Rufe kit(?) I did sent in a request to Tamiya for replacement wing parts and got it.

That's why I put the question mark behind it because that experience was from someone in Australia, not me. Maybe he got a bad bottle.

I think CA activator and CA debonder are must haves.

Finished with the seams on the top and sides. Now I'm working on the engine nacelles. Lots of filling and sanding. I won't be able to get much done for the next week because of the hurricane coming. We'll be on the "dirty" side so lots of rain and flooding.

So finally some bench time. On the Mig, I'm still working on the bottom engine nacelles. More black super glue added to some bad panel lines.

I was checking on the kits that are currently on the shelf of doom. The MiG-29 needed the horizontal stabs added. I drilled holes for some metal pins and glued them on. They're not perfect but they're on and close enough.
