Macross GB

Yup, that's the stuff. Generically called CA, short for Cyanoacrylate. aka super glue.
Stuff dries hard as a rock, so I wouldn't use it if you need to sand. (I never tried sanding after using accelerator, as Aurora-7 suggests...)

What do you mean by "gap filler"? (please excuse my igonorance) Do you mean gap filling CA? If so, I would use plain old putty. CA drys stronger than styrene and you won't be able to sand it easily.

I belive it is gap filling CA.  The attendant at the hobby shop called it gap filler.

Thanks for the help

Man, I went crazy this weekend a spent some cash on this Hobby.(air brush, paint, putty, gap filler, thinner, cleaner, Dukes of Hazzard kit)  Luckily I am single with an understanding girlfriend, so I did not have to answer to anyone or justify my purchases.  Hehehehe.

I did work on my super valkyrie this weekend. I laid down the primer and began assembly.  The question I have is this:  I want to fill in the seams on the arms and legs.  Should I use putty or gap filler?

I purchased both over the weekend.  Just not sure which one will work the best. 

As always your advice and comments are greatly appreciated.

Wow I just found this GB. I haven't logged in for a while. When does it end?

Since it's a pretty small subject, relatively speaking, it's a long build. It will end sometime in 2006. Probably later in the year. We will think about closing the build later next year.

Can anyone help?  I am building a 1/170 Super Valkyrie VF-1S. I should have the preshading done tonight.  My question is what is the overall color of the a/c?  Is it white or grey? 

Thanks in advance for the help.

got sniped on ebay so still no kit, does anyone know is squadron sells the Hasegawa kits? I couldnt find them on the website.

QUOTE: Originally posted by painklr VINMAN, noticed your progress pics. Quick question. On your preshading, do you apply only after primer or can you do it after your first coat of paint? Also, is that considered as a "wash" or is that something completely different. Sorry if the questions sound dumb, but I am getting back into the hobby after many years and all I remember then was just to build them out of the box. Now, it's so different. Any advice from yourself or from any other is welcomed and greatly appreciated.
