    Hello all! I bought some 3d N scale planes, as soon as I touched one a wing and a wheel broke off. The white frost material seems very brittle. I have tried model glue and
    super glue with no results. Any ideas? I tried getting in touch with the developer but after two weeks I have no reply.

    I use Loctite super glue. works every time. if you used model glue you may have sealed the joint,

    It is important to clean the material before beginning any assembly.

    Naphtha also works, if you don't have a source of Bestine.
