Airfix 1/48 H.S. Hawk T.1
Re: Airfix 1/48 H.S. Hawk T.1
Good information! Thank you. Is your PPP in a metal tube? I’m jealous. I can only find the clunky plastic tube here.

Thanks for the good explanation about the putty. Sounds like good stuff.

I love using PPP!!!! After trying it, I don't use anything else except for maybe Milliput for bigger things.

I also have used the PPP. Now I tend to use the Vallejo acrylic putty that is a lot like PPP. I tend to refer to it as PPP on steroids. Like the PPP, it is only good for fine seams and gaps. Anything bigger requires something like milliput, or CA gap filling glue around styrene plugs in the worst case scenario.
Looking great Stuart! Keep it coming!

You're welcome Gents!
I wouldn't worry, the metal tubes are a pain as they often dry up whilst there's still a fair bit left. I preferred the tubs.LyleW wrote:Good information! Thank you. Is your PPP in a metal tube? I’m jealous. I can only find the clunky plastic tube here.

Ours is in plastic tubes. They suck. I can’t squish ‘em and fold them up.

Add water...
Yeah they tend to “bind up” after awhile of not being used often.

I just got through cutting open my tube of PPP and put it in paint bottles. Add a little water and it works great, much easier than squeezing it out of that stupid toothpaste tube.

Well doggies! Makes good sense...
