Is glue needed to assemble and hold this osprey in place?

Yes. Recommendation is for Testor's cement for plastic models. The nacelles can be positioned in either airplane or helicopter mode but they will need to be glued into whatever position you desire. Paint is also required (if desired) as the model is entirely in grey.

yes,I used testors glue for plastic carefully applied with a round toothpick. with skill and thought the engines can be made to rotate from horozontial to vertical with the use of a couple of small pusher springs and stay in any position.

I have it currently assembled on my desk. No glue was used. I will note that the magnets gave out long ago, but the toothpicks holding the bottom panels are still holding them in place.

No, this item will need to be assembled upon delivery. Instructions are included.

No glue or tape is furnished. You need to provide your own or have it installed.

No, prepare a little time and patience for assembly. I put it together with my 14yo daughter and we managed okay.

No glue involved, all pieces can disassemble quickly. The metal rods or poles screw together.

Yes. Glue is required but the assembly is easy. If this is for a child, some adult help is necessary. The kit is molded in gray plastic and looks nice in this color. If you want a more realistic look, you can paint it silver and apply some weathering techniques. The internet has many tutorials about it.

Yes, there is some minor assembly that has to occur to this plane before you fly.

Other two answers are correct. No glue or adhesive. My husband was very impressed I did it all by myself! :)

I didn't use glue, the screws hold just fine. I used the track to provide access to a reptile tank, which is accessed every day. I would use a two part adhesive if I were to use any.

My husband assembled it without using the glue. The glue must be something extra in case something comes off (the wooden knobs).

No. It took my handy husband about an hour but he added glue to some of the holes to make it stronger.

Nope, completely un-assembled. It's not to difficult to put together, all you need is model glue and patience and its done!

I wouldn't glue it unless you have somewhere to store it. My kids have taken it apart and put it back together twice.

No - some assembly is required. But it really was not too difficult. The major parts were already assembled.

You do not need to glue it, but if you were I would recommend a quick drying super adhesive. The plastic is not the typical plastic found in models, it is closer to the plastic used on small action figures. The plastic is not very brittle.

No, the great thing about is kit is that all tools and glue are included. We did need a hammer to get the screw hook started in the wood and to firmly hammer some of the smaller wooden pegs, but other wise for novice kit makers, it was "easy" to assemble and all necessary pieces for assembly were included.
