I have to assume that you are getting substandard kits from Thailand as your descriptions of the poor fit and all seem to point to that. I get my kits either direct from Japan through places like hlj.com or get recasts from either e2046.com in Hong Kong or Hobbyfan.com in the US. The last two have prices that are comparable, even after shipping is added in.
As to the gaps, I use a variety of standard one part puttys or for larger gaps, I use two part epoxy fillers like Apoxie Sculpt. I have never had a kit fall apart from handling. In fact, I have found them nearly impossible to get apart if I make a goof. If using super glue and it is stringy, toss it away and get a fresh tube. I use regular old Crazy Glue with no problems at all.
As for the fellow who asked about prepainted kits. The last two places do sell them ready to do, but the price is generally 3-5 times the kit alone. Hope this helps you and others who are asking questions.
