Just a note to all, I've been using DHP Flash CA glues on my Revell Germany kits. The thin, gel etc. all work really well until the parts are under pressure and you use an accelerator like Flashtac. On both my 1/72 subs and the 1/144 Type VIID I had parts clamped applied the glue and hit them with the accelerator, for a few seconds the plastic seems to melt and then hardens and shatters. I don't know if these glues are avaiable outside Canada, but I would advise not to use accelerators with these glues, Revell Germanys plastic does not do well with them!!
Cheers
Mark
