I thank you both for your suggestions! I have a second C-17 model en route (they're so inexpensive that I couldn't resist), and I'll check the color, consistency, and scent of the glue that comes with it, to see if I can match it to known types. While it's possible that it's some kind of CA glue, maybe a thick, gel type one (the instructions just call it "glue"; the photos show a plain white [with a metallic front end] toothpaste-type squeeze-tube, with no "fine nozzle tip"), my guess is that it's something like the Gorilla brand one-part polyurethane glue, or maybe the glue that one sometimes sees (in dried form) in stores, which "tack-bonds" metal cans of various products inside box packs.
