Hey peeps. I've been slowly scribing panel lines on my Cyclone Tracy F-27. I hit it with some primer and it looks like shit. As I'm running out of time I'm now gonna fill them all in and be done with it. Given there are a lot to be filled, I'm after suggestions for quickly and easily filling in bulk panel lines. Cheers

Tape over any detail you want to keep then hit it with heaps of the filler of your choice. Wet sand and you're done.
When I was doing my Aztec (yeah, I know you hate them..) I just applied the filler out of the tube straight on to the plastic.....only used a spatula to make sure it was in the panel lines.

You could use PPP (Perfect plastic Putty) as per Damo's suggestion. It is water soluble and can be cleaned up with a moistened cotton bud to save elbow grease.

Cheers boys. I'll give it a crack on the weekend

Tamiya white putty works good for me. It dries quickly and its easy to sand.

2 part auto body filler. Smells bad, but can dry to sand in an hour depending on how much hardener you mix in. It also won't shrink like Tamiya filler.

This works for me. It is basically quite high quality dental resin.

Monocure Australia were at Expo and had demos of it. I think you can buy it direct from them.

Thanks boys. I ended up using some Squadron green putty as after a test it seemed to work pretty well.

Ed can this stuff be sanded after curing or is it a bit hard for that? Cheers

It is fairly hard but I have sanded it quite successfully just with sanding sticks etc.
