What glue do forum members recommend to assemble structure kits such as Bar Mills, Altoona Model Works & Korber Models? Thanks for help.

I like the pink flamingo glue from Northeastern Scale lumber, it always remains a bit flexible and have never had it become brittle like the white and yellow glues do. I have been using it for 30 plus years, good for wood and cardboard and porous materials, i would not use it for styrene or window films.
Usually Walthers Goo - often applied with a toothpick.
Wood glues for wood kits except where there's end grain involved - then Goo & CA combined. Solvent glues for plastics and varying CA (medium to thick viscosity) for resin.

I use Titebond II Yellow Carpenters Glue for all wood parts (basswood) on kits by Bar Mills and Altoona. I use Testors Polystyrene Cement (orange tube) for plastic parts on Korber and Ameritowne kits. Testors Polystyrene Cement is also excellent for gluing styrene plastic to basswood. I use epoxy for attaching metal parts to wood.

Thanks everyone for the help, I appreciate it, Altoona Model Works has recommended Titebomd to me,
On korber kits Or other urethane kits I always use crazy glue and on interior joints I cap off with a glue gun.
