Re: tamiya light curing putty
It's a brand new release, I am sure there will be a thread about it as soon as somebody gets their hands on some.
It's probably just a spot putty for fixing things like sink holes and pin marks and instead of using an accelerator to harden, it's light activated to harden.

Re: tamiya light curing putty
The only thing I don't like about it, is that it is very quick. Too quick. Goes hard in sunlight in about 1 minute. Under a fluorescent it takes 2-3 mins. With a close proximity 60 watt bulb (so I can see what I'm doing) it'll probably take about 1.5 minutes to go hard. Maybe that's enough, but it seems really short. You certainly couldn't work a body kit for half an hour.

Re: tamiya light curing putty
From what I read on one of the Japanese modeling forum, the putty should be no thicker than 2 mm. But it cures very fast, so you can add putty in layers to build a thick object. Also it can be cut just like epoxy putty. It sound like it's useful for extending fenders and making simple lip spoiler or rocker panel.
