Posted by guardsmen22 on Sunday, September 7, 2008 1:55 PM
Just like the name says I am looking for some putty for a Abrams conversion and I wanted to know if you guys could suggest some that isn't too expensive and where I could get it from.  Thanks guys.

Go to your local auto supply store,  Pep Boys,  O'Reilly's, Auto Zone, etc.   Go to the body repair department and pick up a tube of Bondo Spot Glazing Putty.   It is the same stuff as sold to modelers but it doesn't have the model company's logo.   The lack of the logo will save you several bucks.  Like Squadron green or white,  Bondo (red) Glazing Putty is a solvent based material which hardens by evaporation.
