Hi Michael,
I built one of their kits and I noticed what you describe. I think it might be because they mixed some kind of filler with the resin. Doing this makes the resin parts lighter in weight potentially and makes your quantity of resin stretch over a larger number of kits. I noticed my superglued parts weren't sticking also and I tried to scratch or abrade the surfaces a little. Still, I think my model is pretty fragile and I'm not convinced the parts are sticking as well as they should. I don't know if the filler has too much oil in it or if the parts all have some kind of mold release. I tried to include a pic of my Ford armored car kit with this message. I like the little kit a lot even as delicate as it was to build.
