Sorry guys I was in a bad mood.
Bruce, usually I am using Revell's filler. Often too thick Bit it makes it easier for me if I wanna generate a certain shape.

Hi Marius! Thank you for letting me know about the type of putty you are using specifically for this particular application, and how you use the putty to create a specific shape. I started with Squadron Green, which was crumbly, sticky and stinky, then Tamiya White which was too fast drying, and also stinky. I am always on the lookout for a filler that won’t crumble or dry too fast or smell like rotten eggs. Milliput has become a pretty solid putty for me, but I do need to undercut and fill with CA and styrene or resin shavings (the “sludge or slurry” mixture) which builds a hard shell.
I will follow along with you!!!

Very cool! Is your Ouragan made by Valom or Heller (perhaps these are the same?) or from another source? Also, I was thinking the Convair could sit on dry lake bed of packed earth... like so, which would be an exciting diorama for you to create and I would like to have your thoughts on how to create the sky from this perspective...
Your finishes are superb! I particular like the masking for Convair—multiple masking technique using both types of Tamiya tape... if that is Tamiya tape for compound curves and standard yellow?

Looking fantastic Marius! Great masking and painting; very clean.
Bruce, that model of the Spruce Goose has a four foot wingspan. I saw it as it was being brought in. It is the A-model kit in 1/72 scale.
