I am not saying that I use it.. in Japan have not even tired because I have been lazy. but I know that the glue I have used from 100 yen and the super market are really bad compared to what I have used in the USA.. the GW glue is expensive but it might be the best I know of in Japan...

this is a good product... you can get them to send it to Japan a bit pricy...

Like a few other posters have already mentioned, you can't go past Aron Alpha. You can get it anywhere, even some convenience stores! I use 'extra' because it's a little stronger and the tube is easier to use but the regular stuff is good too.

The normal stuff looks like this...

For me the nicest thing about Alon Alpha (either kind) is that you can actually use up a tube without the glue clogging up or just going solid - that is some serious superglue tube engineering.

I went through so many other tubes of superglue simply because the nozzle blocked before I was even halfway through. I ended up having to either drill the nozzle out with a pin (messy) or, if the blockage was near the top, chop the top end off, which just resulted in the glue pouring out.

Get this stuff.

Thanks for the great pics Mike, I headed to a nearby convenience store and found the "extra" aron alpha.

Super Glue in Japanese is Shunkansecchokuzai, and the stuff that I was using was just normal rubber glue (choukyouryokusecchokuzai "extra strong glue") or something. So I guess that now that I have found some real super glue to work with, my model(s) will hold together.

Thanks to all of you for providing me with invaluable information once again.
I wish I could try the Gailforce 9 glue that you recommend Admiral, I'm sure it's awesome, but the simplicity of just going to a convenience store to get the glue that almost everyone here uses, is just irresistible.
If I have any opportunities later on, I will try to order the Gailforce on the internet.

I am also going to add an auxiliary grenade launcher to the wrist, here's what I wanna ask you.
How would you do a grenade launcher? I searched around for some pics but didn't find any good ones, and I have never seen a GW model with an auxiliary grenade launcher like that.

Does this help?
And the "Crusty Old Game Geek" award goes to whoever can tell me where this illustration comes from.
