BTW, what type plastic glue did you use on your fins-to-tank shroud attachment? That lower wrap looks to be styrene (as do all the wraps), but that tank shroud and fins themselves appear to possibly be ABS plastic, like on the 1/45 Little Joe II. But, the instructions show using tube-type plastic glue on the fins which would be more in keeping with the fins and shroud being styrene.

What'd you think?

I used Tenax7r for the fin to shroud weld. The Testors tube cement is on my bench from an unrelated project.
