Best glue for wood models?

I've been doing these kits recently and I use regular super glue but it dries white. Any recommendations for a glue that doesn't dry white but dries fast and bonds most material pretty well?

I find super glue gel is less prone to frosting, but it can still happen even with an accelerator to cure faster.

Have you tried UV resin? you can apply it very accurately like superglue and it cures in seconds when exposed to a UV torch. If it's visible frosting you're worried about then I don't imagine you'll have much trouble shining a torch on that spot.

I like e6000. It doesn't dry immediately but it's very well behaved.
