I have seen an article on a sort of liquid putty some time ago but can't find it back.

Does anybody know what I am talking about?

Or does anyone have a technique to deal with very small scratches that can't be treated with eg tamiya putty (but are still very visible after airbrushing?

All input more than welcome

Yes, thanks for pointing me in the correct direction Matt.

Now I only have to find it on the Belgian market ;-)

There is also Liquid Putty by Gunze. This is a brushable putty. You have to clean the brush with laquer thinner.

the Tamiya product is not the same as Mr Surfacer. It is however a filler that can be thinned and smoothed out with Tamiya super thin glue though.

Hi Mr. Roo

I'm refering the tamiya product below ... see link...

http://www.tamiyausa.com/product/item.php?product-id=87075

I maybe inclinde to agree that they are not the same because I like Mr. Surfacer better - has a finer texture especially the Mr.Surfacer 1000...

Cheers

sorry I did not know that Tamiya made this stuff. I may try and get some here in Oz as I do not think I can get Mr. surfacer.
