Hello, i have a Wallace and Gromit motorbike and Sidecar I'm about to start building. I've read that the plastic is hard to glue. Does anyone have any suggestions/advice/recommendations of a suitable glue to use. Also any suggestions for vallejo, gunze or tamiya shade of red to use? Thanks in advance

I was looking for an 'easy build' to follow my Memphis Belle and recent Valoms and my thoughtful daughters have provided a solution by way of an early birthday present, a 1/12 Airfix (Nr. 51101) 1999 classic: I shall be building this almost OOB but, at Procopius' suggestion (thanks PC) and as a sort of 'tongue in cheek' BoB tribute she'll be in RAF WWII camouflage. I can't find any reference videos on the 'net, probably due to copyright issues - sorry. The kit comes in a nice box with a carry handle. This eBay one was still closed up and bags still intact: A (cheap) brush is included, there's a tube of historic poly cement and a number of Humbrol paints, including a pot of H41 'Super acrylic': Wow! Four sprues of (heavy) plastic parts, no clear to worry about: And some instructions: The instructions say 'All parts are numbered' and they are... just not sequentially (29, 32, 62 etc). And paint colour '253' is incorrectly labelled - I don't think Gromit was 'RLM 83 Dunkel-Grun' so I'll be using the pot that's provided but isn't mentioned in the instructions, H41 Ivory 'Super Acrylic'. Right, off to wash my parts and then I'll de-grease the sprues*. * Dbl-E, score 1, fnaar fnaar
