Putty "Patch them up"






Again, this is a step that modelers opting for direct assemble method (normal assembling method without the intention to color and create effect)can avoid. Puttying is a step to be used to fill up holes created by parts not totally aligned together. Combine sanding and puttying procedures to get rid of seam lines and holes to create a smooth surface prior to priming. I am using Mr. Dissolved Putty for this purpose. Mr. Dissolved Putty is different from Mr. White Putty as it is mixed together with thinner, and therefore, comes in a liquid form. The procedure is pretty simple. Just dip a brush with the correct size into the bottle and paint a line directly on the holes. It does not matter if the putty covered area that does not need to be fixed. But do make sure that once the putty is applied, the holes are totally covered and cannot be seen by eyes. Leave the putty on for a day. Finally, use a sandpaper to sand off the area until the surface is smooth and it blends together with the original part.
