so why is this better than tamiya cement or extra thin cement?

ABS is a different type of plastic that Extra Thin doesnāt work well on. I was just informing that Tamiya produces an ABS cement.

@Klaus-Adler David as Matthew states ABS is a different type of plastic, normal plastic cement doesnāt work as well even Tamiya extra thin. It will stick it but if being used for wargaming expect it to start falling apart with the handling. Rubicon do have a glue (not their own product) in their web shop.

Iāve used Tamiya extra thin on Rubicon models and plastweld. For new players youtube is probably the best place for basic info on rules, search for the rules or period in question. A lot of forums/sites are more helpful for people who know what rules they want or have specific questions, some sites are a bit better than others for brand new players. Facebook is normally good for new players but then itās another case of having to know what rules or period youāre looking for. You can search facebook for historical wargaming, modern wargaming, etc, those are more generic and you can get some good info on other topics that are helpful or rules and mini producers you didnāt know of. If you can play a demo of a game youāre interested in thatās probably best. Some games use mechanics that you may not like and you can find that out early (ex. I donāt like the condensed ranges of Bolt Action).

@Striker can you recommend some internet forums as i donāt do facebook.
i like the look of the Rubicon stuff particularly their Huey and itās multiple options and configurations. i have seen that the tamiya extra thin works on their kits as well.
i like the American stuff, tge vehicles look amazing but Iām leaning to the NVA and VC, particularly their armour vehicles.
Some Iām on are
Theminiaturespage
The wargame website
Lead adventure forum
One thing with sites is that they usually have veteran players or players playing a lot of other rules. This can make finding specific stuff hard or you get alternatives, which can be good. It also will have folks who donāt like a set of rules and being the web will be happy to share that feeling. You can also check battlefrontās site they may have a forum for their family of rules. If a local store stocks the game hit up the worker if they have any games or clubs foing on.
