What type of glue should be used to construct this model?

I have a different Occre model (HMS Bounty) that I'm currently working on, and I find that Gorilla Super Glue is a MUST for some of the assembly. For example, to place the first deck or side planks, or some of the smaller pieces that need to be held while the glue sets. For the remainder of the build, I've been using Gorilla Wood Glue. I've been woodworking for decades and I find Gorilla to be one of the better glues.

Tools Required to assemble Albatross wooden ship model?

lots of sandpaper, tweezers, #11 exact knife with multiple blades, small clamps & clothes pins for planking, a bending iron and a small flat iron to start with. A dremel is a lift saver for a lot of tasks. You will need a small set of drill bits, 0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, 1.2 mm and a hand tool to drill with.........you should check out Model Ship World to give you a better perspective of the knowledge and tools required to build a model ship like this. So much to learn if this is your first boat.

Excellent

Nice kit from occre delivered half way across Europe in amazing fast time. The kit arrived in perfect condition and very well wrapped. Unfortunately there were parts missing ( not the sellers fault) but ocree were true to thier word and missing parts sent free of charge from Spain. Would definitely recommend this to anyone.
