Brilliant, but how many tubes of those little crappy tubes of Airfix glue would it take to put that together?

There were 3 tubes of it in the box with various little cans of paint a paintbrush and some transfers if memory serves me correct (I got it in 1970) my bedroom stunk of the stuff when I began construction :)
