Any recommendations for modelling putty.

Well so far, PPP is winning.

I tried PPP (irst time using putty) to join the gaps between the wings to the fuselage and seems fine so far.

Nice to hear. I have a couple of joins on my Sea King which will benefit from a wee bit of filling, albeit not too much thankfully.

One thing I'm not overly worried about is filling in 'imperfections' on wing surfaces or airframe surfaces. Real aircraft flex in flight leaving rippling, depressions in the skin. I point to an example in the pic below of a RAF SAR Sea King. Note the tail section has rippling caused by the stresses of flight. Common on Sea Kings, even more evident on Naval versions, although non of pictures I have show it!!!

If big gaps appear or I create then I may resort to buying an air rifle!!! (That or give it to SWIMBO - she can destroy anything, the reason I gave up the first time!!! She hasn't improved her dusting skills since then!!):unamused:

I remember my wife picking up a WIP 1/72 wingy thing for a closer look and promptly dropping it on the kitchen floor. "It might be good love, but it can't actually fly!" :smiling5:

She hasn't touched any of my models since, or my lads warhammer stuff...

Used to use vallejo but found it sinks a bit, now started using this stuff and find it much better.

Another for PPP.
Dissolved sprue is also useful.
