Big A Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 i used isopan car body filler the last time, worked ok, i have some some milliput putty which should do the same job, just never got round to using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MODELFARMER Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 humbrol model filler best in business better than the revel stuff - too liquidy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexion580 Posted January 12, 2008 Author Share Posted January 12, 2008 Thanks for some ideas, they arn't masive gaps but will stick out like a sore thumb after some paints put on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDH Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I'd recommend Squadron Green Putty, best filler on the market. Quick to dry and easy to sand. Better than Humbrol or any of the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allis8550 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 If you only have small gaps, you can try the super glue/ baking powder method. Apply super glue to the gap, then spinkle baking powder to the joint, repeat untill the joint is filled then sand level. The beauty of this method is , it's almost intantaneous and you can sand it back within minutes, no waiting hours for filler to set off.
