Thanks for looking in............... this part is interestink!
Photo kinda self explanatory. Third one I used tape to keep the red putty off clean plastic.
I have applied putty to the port side, it is in the garage drying. Made me a bit dizzy in my closed room!

Great stuff Bill. What putty are you using?

 

[Wayne Little]

Good stuff Bill, no point getting it where you don't want it...

Great stuff Bill. What putty are you using?

Carefully, automotive putty. It's very aggressive and needs to be used carefully. It's also a little porous so I will have to give it a fillr finish before painting.

So I've done a bit of sanding on the red putty, pulled the tape and did a little feather
on the edges. I did order another brand of filler. I just want to see if something else
works better. You can see how this body filler is pretty rough, doesn't smooth very well.
But it does Fill heaps and doesn't shrink much or not at all. It is not Hard so sands with
light pressure. Sticks to everything is why I tape around it so as not to fill where I don't wanna!!!

Well my fillers came a day early......... surprise surrpriiiise!
1. Vallejo has a nice little nozzle accessory, just a line! It is very soft and not a runny liquid.
Nooooo stink, water based! Says it's Marble powder and smooths with a finger.
AMMO is a different story, I am developing a headache already. It's OUTside stuff!
Nice and smooth tho. gray color. Cleans up with lacquer thinner, must tape off!
Dries as I was spreading it but says 24hr dry to hard. We shall see.
2. First coat of each. 3. Second coat about 20 min later. Sanding tomorrow!
I do hate some of the other putties, tmie will tell if these will be included.

SMS paint maker says do this with his lacquer, 1. Gloss black first, top with silver and let cure. 2. Coat of cheap hair spray then quick with top coat and scratch before it sets! This will be my next test on the crashed P-51B.
