Baking` soda or rubbing alcohol may work as an accelerator. Remember that nail polish remover will remove CA, it's cheaper and has a nice scent. CA is alternately sold as fake finger nail adhesive and as "Fray Check," in case you're out of town or it's very late and that model must be repaired before game time. from Scott: "Oh, and I offered the new owner my services in creating assembly instruction sheets for the models. I do that sort of stuff for a living, after all He said he'd get back to me." Great News!! Some of the best I've heard in a while.

Well, they haven't said anything definite, and I will not be doing it for free

The problem with free stuff is that you often get what you pay for.

hardlec is right about the baking soda. I use it often. It can act as a filler, too. Put the parts together "dry" and then pack the soda into the joint with toothpick or something similar. Then, put a drop of the CA (thin is best for this trick) on the joint. It will wick in and set RIGHT NOW! Don't touch the spout of the CA to the soda or it will set up in there, too. You can go back and add more if needed. The joint will be easy to trim and clean for several minutes. After that, the stuff really gets hard and you have to sand it.
Haven't tried the rubbing alcohol trick--first that I heard of it.
Be really careful with the CA dissolvers. Acetone is the active ingredient and many plastics just melt on contact with it. Metal is no problem.
