In short:

Plastic cement is your normal plastic model kit glue
Instant cement is usually Cyano superglues

and finally rubber cement is as it says, the closest I can think of sold in the UK would be something like Loctite Threadlock compound...the stuff you put on your nuts and bolts to stop them shaking undone.
Quite a few model shops sell this stuff and even Tamiya make it too.

I have an excellent rubber cement bought many years ago at a model show called Fender-Mender, An American product but, it is basically clear liquid rubber & when applied it dries very strong (and it is flexible too)...even on metal. It will only come undone when you apply the necessary force to it....it does withstand heat to a good degree too.......If you have any rubber dinghy's or lilos with leaks...this is the stuff to use as they won't leak after that.
And for all you Cyclists out there, small coat of this stuff on any puncture will seal it for good, no need for puncture repair patches at all.

Regards.......Mark
