In fact, there are several.
My personal favorite for this type of plastic cement is Humbrol Poly Cement, although this glue was reformulated a couple of years ago and the new stuff doesn't have much shelf life. Once my last bottle of the old stuff is done, I'll be switching as well.
Citadel makes a liquid cement very similar to, if not the same as, the old Humbrol, and it's readily available in most hobby shops.
Faller makes a good one, generally available on line. Revell also has a liquid cement, called "Contacta", but I've not tried it and can't comment on it.
A word of caution, though, about buying these products on line - try to find them at a reputable dealer like Tower Hobbies, Sprue Brothers, Mega Hobby, or Hobbylinc; Amazon offers these products but at absolutely absurd prices.
in the photo - Humbrol Poly Cement (the Old type), Citadel, and Faller. All with the steel tube applicator, just like Model Master.
Hope this helps.
