How do I repair this?

[Papyrus]

Inviting knowledge from the hive mind...

My stepson has inherited this model of the Supermarine seaplane:



Unfortunately, the float strut has become detached from the fuselage:



I have rashly said I will try to repair it, but how? The model is made of metal, not sure what sort. It doesn't feel heavy enough for white metal. I would like to try and mend it as unobtrusively as possible, so my cackhandedness where soldering is concerned rules that out, even if I could guarantee the metal would take solder. So that really leaves glue. Epoxy would look awful and I don't think superglue would be man enough for it. There must be something out there that sticks metal and looks like metal.

All suggestions gratefully received.

Cheers,

Chris

Has that whole right wing been broken off at the root and soldered back in place?  Does the other side look the same? Seems odd to have a gap between the strut and the fusilage, can it be bent back in to place before gluing?

I would use epoxy, but really that gap needs closing up first.  Try and apply the epoxy so that the bulk of any excess is below and behind where less visible.

Another possibility might be repair putty which I'm sure I've seen in grey, possibly even with a slightly metallic look.

This kind off stuff (shop around, there are several types available)

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll probably go for something like that.

The join between wing and fuselage is the same the other side. I can't tell if it is soldered or a weld. The strut will go back in place easily - the other one is slightly loose and the float can be rotated a few mm. It's not obvious how the broken strut was originally fixed.
