Ok I recently bought TWO McLaren Honda kits that seemed to be extinct. I need some tips on building them because I really don't wanna mess them up. (I'll take pics of the MP4/7 when my bro gets up in the morning because it's in his room)

The best glue for clear parts is white glue which is water based and dries clear. I use Krystal Klear by Microscale.

Uhhhh......I just look through it and it looks like they're too good for my level except for the polishing part because I polish my dad's cars more than car models.
