I use Zap-A-Gap (I prefer the thicker version PT-04) anywhere I would have a call for Super Glue, primarily for affixing landing gear (including the doors) and any other parts that may be under stress in the final assembly (applied with a toothpick or needle). In most situations I use Tenax-7 to joint the parts.

Zap-a Gap is just a brand name of a CA. They do make a good product and as stated before you use it where you would any other CA during your assembly process.
