Ok. I did not see any particular glues in your photos; I was looking over the parts closer earlier today before I start construction (well, debating between the 1b and the Skylab Saturn V), and as I looked at the shroud and fins it kinda hit me that those two items might actually be ABS. Is that your opinion too?

As mentioned (and as I’m sure you and others have seen) the instructions indicate using tube-type glue which, if this ABS, ain’t gonna do the job. I recall Gassaway was one of the early ones who found that out on the Little Joe II four years ago.
