I've noticed that everyone is always looking for that " perfect " filler to use on models .As you know I posted an article about the REVELL " GTS-FINNJET " Well , I had a problem .After installing the sides of the upperworks with it's 567 windows (yup , Counted them by accident after painting them with a sharpie ! ) I noticed that where the upper-work sides didn't meet the hull evenly .
After painting all those dad blamed windows , I wasn't about to obliterate a whole row with sanding . I was trying to figure it out when a light bulb went off (rare in these very old grey cells ) I happened to set my gaze on my BIG bottle of ALEENS craft glue (white glue to the uninitiated ). Now after four thin layers I have a sleek side look to the ship .If you look at it on the boxcover it is smooth and slab sided all the way up to the boat deck ! . Although an ungainly looking ship , In model form , although 1/400 scale , she doesn't look bad . Now , if you haven't done this before here's a new one .If you have ,why didn't you tell us ? LOL. LOL . Anyway , I wanted to share this emergency filler idea with you . Thanks for Your time Tanker-builder I think the A/C guys know about this .
I've been using white glue for this purpose for years. I thought everyone knew about it. I also use it to simulate small rivets on armor. I just a pin drop size on the spot. I let the white glue set up a little bit before applying. I mostly use it on wing joints, but not too much as it will shrink some. Just one more little tool to use.

Here you go. This stuff is sand-able after it dries, and you can wipe it off before it dries. Works well. I use it for filling and gluing.
