I have a diecast model airplane and the tail is a separate piece. To reattach, is there a glue or adhesive?

The plane and the tail are both diecast. The factory had the tail attached with a screw that was too short and I cannot find a replacement. Is there a glue or adhesive or something that I can do? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank youI have a diecast model airplane and the tail is a separate piece. To reattach, is there a glue or adhesive?
JB Weld epoxy, from the hardware store.





Prep is important. Rough up the surfaces with sandpaper or an emory board. Degrease with alcohol or lacquor thinner. Then follow the directions.





Don't use the 5 minute epoxy stuff, use the stuff that takes 24 hours to harden. Support the parts so they can't sag while it's hardening.I have a diecast model airplane and the tail is a separate piece. To reattach, is there a glue or adhesive?
A product called JB Weld should be perfect for that.(comes in a tube) You can find it in hardware stores.
