i am actually using mmd green putty on this build its my first time using it .it was recommended by a friend ,i usually use the tamiya putty.i used tamiya putty on my first truck and 2 years later it is still ok.thanks for the tip:D

Re: optimus prime transformers
 

Ya if that's the squadron green putty I've been pretty disappointed with it in the past.

Re: optimus prime transformers
 

crap!!!! thats what it is.:eek::eek::eek::eek:.how soon will it start to crackor shrink and i wonder if i can grind it out and use tamiya instead

Re: optimus prime transformers
 

I would bet that you can sand most of it off and use a pic to get the rest off out of the cracks. I would definitely get it out of there. I knew better and used it anyway thinking I did not need much filler and it would be thin well I was wrong I now have a nice truck with a great paint job and an ugly ring where I filled in a sun roof window.

I 100% recommend the EVER COAT Polly Flex there is nothing that even comes close to this stuff.

Re: optimus prime transformers

nice looking trailer!

and you can get evercoat stuff up here at napa usually, carquest has a different brand i have used on my 1:1 pickup years ago, it worked good but the evercoat worked better.

Re: optimus prime transformers
 

rage gold also works great for body filler
