    For hard plastic types, Selleys make a product that is basically a primer and super glue, i have used it but found it to be not much different to plain superglue. I have used just superglue successfully for several bit on my prev D2. For the soft or oily plastics (like nylon or acetyl) , I found the best attack if possible was to use contact cement and a backing sheet. Several hot air guns now come with a plastic welding nozzle and you can get various filler rods, i've not had a lot of success though.

    Selleys make a plastic toy glue which comes with primer and glue, and is claimed to glue any plastic generally used in toys etc. I've used it with success.

    Rapidfix is quite good. RapidFix Australia l Adhesive, Contact adhesive, Super glue, Superglue.
    Still basically a super glue kind of product, but bonds well. Doesn't always need it as the glue itself is good, but if you can get to a reverse or non-visible side, the welding powder can build up the area either side of the join for extra strength. You can usually buy it in fastener (nut and bolt) suppliers.
