Kits are mix of many glues. I use thick and thin CA to build, epoxy on wing centers, firewalls, gear blocks, wing bolt blocks, and I tend to go over all the joints with a bead of white wood glue shot out of a monoject syringe really thin, but enough to do the job. Holds the parts a long time. Never had a plane come apart doing it that way.

I use Yellow Elmers about 95%. Even for wing joint and firewall. It's just so easy to work with. I only use epoxy when it must stick to plastic. Sometimes thin Ca does the trick but I hate getting it on my fingers!
