Filling in gaps on plastic model parts
Posted by Jan on Tuesday, January 13, 2009 4:58 AM

Hello To Everyone

I am in the process of putting together a plastic truck model and I notice that after glueing some of the engine pieces together I have a rather big gap on one side of the block where two pieces come together.  Is there something I can use to fill in the gap that will take to paint also?

Thank You

Jan

Modeling putty or gap filling CA (CyanoAcrylate) glues will do the trick.

So long folks!

Good Morning Bgrigg:

Thank you for the advice, I am going to give it a try.  I only see the testor brand for modeling putty but I will keep looking.
