Ideal glue for repairing PNSO models?

Unfortunately, my PNSO Lufengosaurus took a topple and split into a few pieces, and I was wondering if anyone knew what glue I should use to repair it.

I've used Loctite superglue to good effect. They do a a plastic specific 2-part bonder if you want to go hardcore as well, just be more aware of how much you apply, and where you apply, as you don't want the bonder anywhere other than the breakage points else it ruins the presentation of the figure.

Highly reccomend not applying any glue directly to a figure. Instead squirt a couple drops onto a disposable container (or just a sheet of cardboard), then use a toothpick to carefully apply an adequate layer of material onto the broken surface. Have some paper towels on hand in case of overappliance or bleeding.

The advice in your second paragraph is very helpful and I will keep it in mind for next time I will try to repair something.

I'd go with a gel superglue. Hopefully you don't have to do any drilling and sticking back together with pins!
