"Testors Plastic Model Putty"

My only complaint about this Testors product is the tendency for liquid to form at the end of the tube. I used it recently after it had been sitting for a while and the first squeeze or two brought out a nearly-clear putty. I had to use more than necessary so I could mix it up. It worked OK after I did that and now that I am using this tube heavily and regularly the separation of ingredients is no longer a problem. It does have a tendency to harden quickly when using small amounts, so plan your work, and work fast. Sands up easily and paint adheres well to it, when properly sanded and primed. I recommend it while supplies last, but the Vallejo, AK, Tamiya white and Squadron putties do at least an equally good job of filling seams.

"Works well enough"

I've used this putty for years on my plastic models. It does a decent job in filling smallish gaps but it takes practice to get a good result. For my taste the consistency is a bit too thin. I've found that if you have big gaps or holes to fill you might have to apply the putty twice after letting the first application dry. It will be somewhat brittle when dry, so any exposed putty will easily break off. On the plus side, the color is perfect for painting. The working time is good; doesn't dry out too fast. If you have a toothpick you can get it into just about any gap. I still haven't found anything better for my purposes so I will continue to use it.

Testors Plastic Putty is a good putty for a cheap price. When I was using it to help fill in some spaces in my F-5 Tiger II model, I noticed that it dried very quickly. (Hint: One must ALWAYS put the lid back on immediately after use. Squeeze gently to prevent a slow pouring of putty that, if the lid is not put back on, will dry quickly and be wasted. However, when I first squeezed the tube, only a clear liquid pours out before the more solid putty comes out. I do not know how to prevent this.) Once the putty was put on the model and smoothed out, the paint went over it nicely with no problems. I would definitely recommend this putty as a good, cheap alternative to other more expensive putties.

To make a good model you are going to need putty because on a the real aircraft you are making a model of there is not going to be gaps in the fuel tanks or wing. To fill gaps you can use gap filling super glue or putty. I like to use this putty because it is water based which means it is easy to sand down which saves time. But it is easy to fill gaps using a damp cotton swab which allows you to get the extra putty off which also means less sanding. This putty performs great at getting in gaps of all sizes and will defenataly improve the looks of your models by making the gaps dissaper. And for the price you just cant beat this putty
