I just built my first balsa "kit" model and I used thin CA. The parts were pretty small in some cases, and the glue worked great. I think medium CA would have worked better for some of the parts as well. Some of the balsa pieces sucked in the thin CA before I could get the parts connected and bound, so I had to use more. The medium viscosity would have been better, it's actually what I use on my foam planes. Good luck!
