I gotta say for a kit this one is a struggle. Poor instructions (kit is from the 80's I think), warped plastic, broken walls etc is making it interesting. Without all the extra interior wood bracing it would be a nightmare to ship this structure.
I have discovered something new. I use Gorilla Glue (light blue cap) for plastic to plastic/wood joints and a product called 2P-10RT (wood super glue) for wood to wood. I have used 2P-10 for a long time in my woodworking. I contacted the manufacturer and asked if it can be used to bond plastic and the rep said sure. I used it on all the new wood bracing posted above and it seems to be working great. 2P-10 stands for two part 10 second cure though the 2-part is really the glue and an activator if you want to use it. The RT stands for rubber treated which makes it even better for plastic kits. Just be warned if you use the activator the bond is as advertised - INSTANT. The neat thing about the activator is whether you spray it or brush it on, even if the carrier evaporates the working chemicals remain so you can walk away and come back later and the part is ready to go.
