Hello, I found a lot of modelers using g"Panzer Putty" to make camo patterns on armor/jets. So i was wondering if anyone has worked with such product or if there is another brand that is better and easier to get ahold of. I had a tough time finding a place that sells panzer putty. Can it be reused after being sprayed over? does it leave any residues? easy to work with? Please let me know!

I've not gotten my hands on any panzer putty yet, but I have used blue-tac to do the same thing with some success. I have found the stretchiness of the blue-tac can make it difficult to get small, precise contours. Not sure how panzer putty compares in that regard.

Hello,

well, Panzerputty works. It does indeed. And it is reusable many times even with some paint on it. After long time you can fix it up with a drop of water and it will be brand new. You also can use it over photoetch and without the fear of any residue. But you should keep in mind that it slowly levels out which means that it will run off your model and goes entirely flat after some days. So complicated multiple-color camouflages or paint jobs with a lot of shades and lights need some planning or forethougt because you can`t let it on your model for weeks and than continue with the painting. On the other hand it is extremely soft and gets in every edge and covers every shape without any problems.

Apart from that I made some nice first experiments with it.




My first try with (too wide) handpainted black lines. On the other hand a very uncomplicated paint job with panzerputty.

Mmmm - must give that a try. I have a tin of Panzer Putty sitting on my shelf which I have yet to use.

Shure, it works quite good. Although it´s not THE ultimate solution.
So far I´ve used it only on the quite complex Malta sceme:



Producing so many little squares takes quite a long time, esp. on such a tiny model. (a bit lager than my palm) As said before, Panzer Putty is solwly softening out, wich can be a bit annoying, but that proces isn´t too fast.. not really a real unless you want to spray more than an hour.

The clever bit about is, you can produce hard and soft edged pattern, depending on how you apply it. Unless you´re putting tons of paint on, there should be no noticeable rim around your masked area as it can happen with masiking fluids or tape.

I'd like to try the Panzer Putty, but so far I don't find it on any of the websites from which I usually shop. Anyone know where to get it?

Try Blast Models. That's where I got mine though a couple of years ago but they might not store it anymore.
