Allright guys, I am not sure if this is the right section but here goes.

I just bought a platz's girls & panzer 1/72 scale model, I bought all the colouring.

When I start cutting out the model and assemble it I noticed some of the part doesn't actually hold together.

This is my first time playing scale model. Zero knowledge on these.

So the question I wanted to ask would be,

1. What kind of glue should I purchase for these model kit. Can I use UHU glue, I am worried those gajah labeled glue will destroy the plastic.

2. Can you suggest me a decent hobby shop around KL? I might need some supplies for it, or I will visit it whenever I am free.

1. First of all these military kit are not like gunpla as it not design to be snapfit. Anyway you need Plastic Cement like from Tamiya to hold them together, gam gajah also work too but with cement you can adjust the position when applying while gam gajah will just stick to anything if you are not careful.  Just keep in mind that be sure test fit first before gluing to make sure it fit nicely or glue it for later for easier painting.

2. There are some in BTS like GamersArena (7th Floor), IT Toys (1st Floor IT Centre) or for scale model specific shop Hobby Hq:
