No tabs on stuff like closing cylinders and joining cylindrical sections together fershur. Joining wall sections in architectural models look better with no tabs most of the time. Most large pieces seem to work and look better with no tabs. It is really just a situational preference. Sometimes glue tabs work better, sometimes glue strips work better, sometimes no tabs or strips work better. I usually modify what ever I am working on to fit the situation. I have cut off lots of tabs before when it looked like a butt joint would be better, making my own glue strips or just glueing the pieces without any tabs or strips. I have also added glue tabs and glue strips when they were not offered on some models. As stated before, it's a situational thing. :^)
