With the pin holes made, test fit the parts.
Now, there are all kinds of glues, but I prefer to use Devcon Plastic Welder.
Basically, this is a 2 part epoxy that you mix equal portions. The glue sets up in
4 minutes and has a test strength of 4500 lbs for a good solid joint. You can
find Plastic Welder near the other 30 minute 5 minute Epoxy glues at your local
hardware store or Walmart. Attach each part, one at a time, holding the joining
parts for a few minutes until the epoxy sets up.
Once you have your kit is assembled, you will need to putty up the seams
of the joining parts. I recommend Aves Apoxie Sculpt and Aves Safety Solvent.

Aves makes a putty that is very easy to work with and is non-toxic. Mix your
Aves Apoxie Sculpt with two equal parts and using a sculpting tool and your
fingers, apply the putty over the seams. (you may need to resculpt in any
detail or texture if the joint has that). and Aves can be smoothed out simply
taking an old paint brush and feathering it out with the Safety Solvent.
After you have puttied up the seams, allow the putty to set up overnight.
You can come back the next day and sand it down for further smoothing.
And there you go...you have built your kit. Wipe your kit down with a lint
free cloth and prime it using Dupli-Color light Grey "Filler" primer (this can
be found at most Auto chain stores and your local Walmart in the auto
section). Prime your kit with a few light coats to get a nice even coverage,
do not try and "Hose" your kit with one heavy spray of primer to avoid
heavy build up and such.
There you go...now start painting
