Default Best glue to attach plastic deck to the plastic hull???

So I am building the Italeria Schnellboot and I need to glue the deck to the hull and I was wondering how You guys would do it. it is all painted and both surfaces are plastic. need to find out which adhesive would work best, I need something slow so I can have some time to tape it down. I cant tape it and use MEK and epoxy is not good for plastic, plastic cement is messy and superglue sets to fast, I was thinkin about a bead of silicon, what do you think?

A lot depends on what type of plastics are involved.

Reference to MEK leads me to beleive the plastic is ABS.
