Re: Came back from my LHS !!!!!

is squadron white good for making body kits? because i asked the owner of my LHS about putty for body kits and he said he didnt have any. he said all he had was filler putty like the one u got and even took it off the shelf. let me kno if its good cuz then ill buy a couple tubes of it.

the Squadron white is what I use, and I love it. I've not attempted body kits (yet) but for filling/shaving its awesome. Stays good and is super easy to sand.

The last thing appears to be a sheet of CF. Correct me if im wrong, But, as for a good deal, I could get all that under ten bucks here, 3 bucks for CF, 97 cents for putty, 65 cents for that much styrene, 1.55 a can of paint and 87 cents for sandpaper.. and 1.25 for the brushes...

If you are going to use the Squadron putty to make body kits, you should make most of the shapes with the sheet plastic, sand that to the shape you want and then use a little putty to smooth any inperfections.
While the putty may seem to be dry it still contains a lot of solvent which will soften the base plastic and it will shrink for some time.
