A busted snap-together model kit changed my mind about glue

I always thought any model kit with glue was a scam. Why bother when snap-together exists? Then my nephew brought over a Revell '57 Chevy from Goodwill that had loose axles and a hood that wouldn't stay shut. I grabbed some Testors tube glue just to fix it, and next thing I know I built the whole thing with glue. The fit was tighter, no gaps, and it didn't fall apart when he played with it. Now I get why old hobby guys swear by the stuff. Did any of you switch from one building style to another later on?

Wait, you glued a whole ship inside a bottle without breaking the glass?

Did you hear about that guy who glued a whole ship model inside a bottle?

Get yourself a decent glue syringe or you'll end up with fingerprints all over the glass. Trust me on that one.
