I have built a few of these. They are certainly not shake-the-box kits, but with care do make up into a presentable car for a modeler who is not a novice. Walthers made a soft-metal casting for the roof end contours which served as a sanding guide and is much more useful than attempting to free-hand a roof contour. They were cataloged as Walthers part No. 941-979, roof beading. In my experience Walthers GOO is the best adhesive because it holds dissimilar materials well and will not fail under flexing. ACC glues have tended to fail after some time due to flexing or extreme temperature changes when joining large parts. The GOO also remains flexible for a good working time before taking its final set, but clamping is usually called for and only experience will assist in helping you apply the proper amount of glue (not too much or too little). Good luck with your project and enjoy the build.
