Sorry for the delayed answer. Yes it's Perfect Plastic Putty and is great stuff.

Future is clear gloss acrylic and can be mixed with any acrylic paint. I have mixed it into MM and Craft acrylics without any problems. It reduces the additional step of shooting gloss over the flat paint.

A little progress on the 162. Got the big ugly gap in the cannon bay filled in with PPP and sanded smooth.

Also got the V tail and wings together and ready to go on the fuselage.

PJ, I have Perfect Plastic Putty here on my bench, but, as far as I have already used it, I am not too excited. It give a glass smooth sanded surface, but has no real grip into the plastic or resin. Most PPP I have applied easily sanded off again...

Great to see you achieved better results using it!

Remarkable progress on this beautiful aircraft! The PE IP looks so cool! Must check my kit if I already have it in the box!
