metal figures

I just received some metal figures that I need to attach the arms on. What would be the best adhesive to use?

Only Superglue (cyanoacrylate) will be up to the task - I've used it successfully with Tamiya 1/24 metal figures that require assembly.

Thanks Cardinal, this should be intresting since there 1/72, so they'll either be glues to the figure or glued to my fingers.....

Use wooden tooth pick to apply glue or use what I use, BOND 527 Multi-purpose cement.
