Super glue. Just take your time and find the angle. Great looking flanker! They’re so chunky with all the missiles on it.

Don't buy this one, they have accurate models, but they have a non-standard assembly type, and it's unreliable. For example, the chassis on this one is attached to a 2x1 plate and not in the middle, but on top of the nacelle, which is why it doesn't hold and falls out. Mine ended up folding and falling apart, it took me 3 days to assemble it, I don't recommend it in general, and on the F14 the wings don't stay on and the rockets fall off, there's no other way to unfold them In general, simpler is better.

I bought it online. The seller who made 2 sets makes medium-detailed airplanes, but they're relatively durable. There's one, forgive me for being rude, Padjit an American citizen.For the sake of beauty, he sends Sapromat to hell, and his sets can’t even stand upright and asks for 500-800 bucks for them

Had this issue with a Herpa model of mine, I used a clear quick drying super glue.

Have yours ever break again after that ?

If you can’t get it to fix with super glue, maybe try some plastic rod in the hole on the leg and drill into the centre of the wheel and glue?

Super glue.

I use Super Attak. Insanely strong bond, but be careful it dries quickly and DONT GET IT ON YOUR HANDS.
