Do you have to glue the model together?

Yes. Glue is required but the assembly is easy. If this is for a child, some adult help is necessary. The kit is molded in gray plastic and looks nice in this color. If you want a more realistic look, you can paint it silver and apply some weathering techniques. The internet has many tutorials about it.

Yes you do! It comes in two main halves and the tail fins also have to be glued together before fitting - nothing difficult if you use tape to hold it together while the glue dries. There are also quite simple cabin and engine assemblies to make, but I did not use these as I customized my model to make a 1916 Naval Zeppelin

I've never built it in that configuration but I've seen it done that way by other modelers so my answer is yes. Just by looking at my kit I dont see why not, I even think it's easier that way :)

as long as you have a sharp knife or razor blade you really don't need anything else. i've never use glue and while i do paint it its just because i hate the look of plastic for my models and the fact that it helps hide the seems.

This is a great model to start with. The only problem I had was attaching the hull (the two largest pieces). They were a little warped and didn't want to fit together perfectly. I ended up using super glue for a quicker bond, then using several layers of model glue with clamps. Otherwise, this was fun & easy!

no you either glued in vertical or horizontal but once you got the engine the way you want them do not glue the propellers (once assembled and painted) it just makes for easy transport and storage if ever necessary.

Yes, it is an unassembled model. It has a lot of small plastic parts that have to be assembled.

Not at all - everything was pretty precise and fit together perfectly. Follow directions step-by-step and you'll have it done in no time! I am very happy with this - will buy another one. Have fun! :-)

With a little help from an adult the answer is yes. Prepaint before assembly and then check pieces before you glue and you should be good to go!

Model glue won't work. You can use epoxy or super glue. Something like Gorilla Glue would also work.

not necessarily. It all depends on if your real big on detail. if u are then I highly recommend painting before gluing. if not then u can paint after u glue.

You have to do assemble the vertical stabilizer, the wing tips, landing gears, and decals. No glue is required. Double face tape is supplied. This plane is the first plane on a series of 8 that I am able to fly without any incidents. I wish I had bought it as my first plane. It would have saved me so much money and frustration. I love it!!! Good luck!!!!

this is NOT a snap kit, glue must be used through out, I recomend Model Master Liquid Cement for Plastic Models

You do not need to glue it, but if you were I would recommend a quick drying super adhesive. The plastic is not the typical plastic found in models, it is closer to the plastic used on small action figures. The plastic is not very brittle.

Don't need to glue anything. Besides, what if you want to take it apart sometime?

It could be difficult only because it is a really large model and you may need experience with a smaller version first. To glue and hold the two pieces of the fuselage together takes some dexterity with rubber bands or small plastic clamps to hold and keep a tight fit.It's a great big cool model to have and I love it! so you could still try it.Since it is a model with large pieces it may actually be easier to handle...good luck!

Yes both come glued together. Just need to buy 2mm double sided sticky tape.

For the most part, no glue is needed. You only need glue if there's a loose part that bothers you.
