I have always thought that the Oscar and the Zero were the 2 most graceful and sleek aircraft of WW2. Of course the IJN Zero was much the more famous of the two aircraft and Allied pilots tended to identify their opponents as Zero fighters, whether they were or not. The Oscar was the Army fighter and was quite prominent in all land theaters the Japanese fought in, but still they were often Id'ed as Zeroes. Actually they have a passing resemblance but there are distinct profile differences. That the Japanese Army flyers did as well with the underarmed Oscar as they did says a lot for their training and ability. -- Al

The 1/32 scale aircraft require stronger glue then 1/72 or 1/48 scale? What type of glue to you use ? Very nice assembly and painting. John

Thanks.
I use super glue from Dollar store {sm3} .....sorry just kidding. I use Tamiya regular liquid cement most of the time. I also use the Extra thin version for small parts...etc...
I find that the thicker (regular) cement has stronger bond and much faster drying time than the thin cement.

I love the extra thin glue it just rolls magically along the joint and done. Works great for doing windows in frames. The regular dries faster? I'll pick some up next time I
