Resin Model body - What kind of Putty?

Trev53 · 05-08-2007

I want to build a model of my 1953 Ford Club Coupe. The RESIN body I ordered from Hendrix to be used with Lindburgh kit parts needs some modification to the roof-line and deck-lid area. BEFORE I think about cutting and puttying parts like I would on a regular plastic kit, I need to know if regular putty (eg:Green Squadron) will work or if I need to get something else.

It'll work fine - the only problem with resin is that they often have a residue of mould release agent which needs to be removed - I'd suggest mildly warm water and washing up liquid, rinse that off and then use a mild abrasive cleaner, rinse well and then key the areas to be filled with wet and dry to slightly roughen the surface prior to the application of filler.
