UP SD40-2's NEW Layout
I use Krazy glue, but mostly only for attaching mechanically-mounted metal details, like wire grabirons or strip-metal sill steps., which are installed into drilled holes. 

The only advantage of Krazy glue for plastic structures that I've found, after buying (at bargain prices) quite a few assembled structures, is that it's very easy to take them apart.

I then rub the mating faces over a sheet of fairly fine sandpaper, to remove the hardened ca, then re-assemble them using solvent-type liquid cement...usually MEK or industrial-grade lacquer thinner.  

I have used speciality-type ca for securing some items made from engineering plastics, but find it a hit or miss procedure...works okay sometimes, other times nada.
