(Tamiya) to plastic (ESCI) work then your basic "aircraft model  glue"?

The key question is "what plastic is it?"  If it's polyethylene, IMHO no
glue is going to work well.  PE feels waxy and slick; it's the same
stuff
gallon milk jugs are made of.

If it's styrene (more likely) then pretty much anything should work
okay. 

I wouldn't recommend airplane cement because it's a solvent, works by
partially melting the pieces.  You'd do better with epoxy or superglue
or
something like that.
