                        Hi All,

                        I am in Bedford, England and was on this forum a while ago.

                        My main interests are Luftwaffe Transport Aircraft and PR aircraft of all sorts up to the late 1950s. Mostly modelling in 1/72nd but as I get older (62) I am moving towards 1/48th - I can actually see the models...

                        Had a long break (15yrs) but am getting back into hacking plastic now. Things seem to have changed a lot - what the heck is Mr Surfacer for example??!!

                         

                        Regards,

                        TC

                        TC,

                        Welcome back to the hobby and the forums. 

                        Mr. surfacer is like a putty that is prethinned. Comes in differnt viscosities and works very well.

                        Thanks for the warm welcome, folks,  I hope to be able to put in as much as I get out of this (at least!)

                        Welcome!

                        Some swear by Mr. Surfacer for primer coats, light filler and rough surfaces. I find it difficult to dilute and the strong chemical smell is worse than Plastic Solvent Cement! Yet some applications its the best choice.

                        1940-1950's PR aircraft eh?

                        Many surplus WWII aircraft were stripped of camouflage paint and used for this in Canada. Also these aircraft were used as trainers, search & rescue missions and some modified to become water bombers. One build on the back bench I have is a NMF Spitfire flown across Canada in 1946 for PR events.

                        Hi,

                        It must be one hell of a job to strip all of that paint off,,, I wonder if it is really worth the effort? Cleaning saucepans is bad enough.,..
