When I was a kid, I used my Mom's Elmer's white glue to build Guillow kits and some control line kits. It was all I had and it worked well except it wasn't sand-able. I just balled up when you tried to sand it.
Laser cut parts are amazing! They fit soooooo nice. Makes you almost miss the days of die-crunched kits....LOL. I think Goldberg was the king of crunch years ago.
CA is nice when you are in a hurry and I suppose it's spoiled me to, but fumes get to me now, so I seldom use it except to tack glue or field repairs.
