    Filler help

    On my current build I have a gap that needs to be filled. Is there a filler I can use that will not need sanding as it will not be possible to do so with were the gap is? Thanking you in advance.

    I use Vallejo filler and tend to run a wet fingertip over it which removes excess and leaves a smooth finish.
    Si vis pacem, para bellum.

      Deluxe materials plastic magic filler is good. A wipe with a moist cotton bud before it dries avoids the need for sanding.
      On the bench: Airfix 1/48 Sea King HC4, Revell 1/24 Trabant.
      Coming soon: Airfix 1/72 Phantom FGR2.
      Just finished: Airfix 1/48 Stuka & Airfix 1/72 Sea King HC4.

        I mix Tamiya white putty with Tamiya extra thin cement and let the capillary action draw in the putty.
        Usually doesn't require sanding, but if I have to use putty/filler on a sensitive place I use Milliput and run a wet finger over it and then let it dry. No sanding required!

          I'm with Bob, and if you can't get a finger in there, a damp and well compressed cotton bud works well.

            and so do I, or a wet cotton bud.
