Airman,

Your P-51 is looking very nice. Looking at your fuselage shots one can see your use if CA. Perhaps I'm viewing it incorrectly but it appears the glue has wicked not only into the joint, but also into the surrounding wood. Maybe contributing to your glued fingers. I've found that, particularly in this hobby, getting by with the least amount of adhesive (whatever you use) is the best policy. Not only does less mean easier sanding but perhaps most importantly, a definite reduction in the all up weight of the finished craft. A neat little trick is to find a sewing needle of moderate size and file away the top portion of the eye leaving a "u" shape. Into a small cap, bottle cap will do, Express a small amount of ca glue into it. When go to glue the joint, dip the eye of needle into the glue and touch it to the point you wish to join. Be patient and wait for the CA to cure. Repeat if necessary. This way you are putting glue only where needed. Hope this helps.

You might want to consider Duco thinned with 50/50 acetone.  Double glue (which means apply glue to both pieces and let set for a minute. Then apply glue to one piece and place together.  Pin in place and let dry. 30 minutes minimum)  Works great and is pretty fast for building.  But your joints need to be accurate in fitting together.  I would encourage using emery boards to sand the excess glue from the joints you can get a big package of them at the Dollar Store.  I look forward to see your progress.  Hard to beat a P-51!

Good start.  You might want to look at the super glue tips that help keep the amount of glue to a really small amount per application.  Check out the glue section for links.

Be careful inhaling the fumes, they're highly irritating to the mucus membranes.
