Tamiya Putty White (87095)
Tamiya Putty White (87095) is a versatile and widely used product in the model-building world. It’s a modeling putty designed to help with filling gaps, seams, and imperfections in plastic model kits. It provides a smooth and clean finish for your builds.
Details:
1. Purpose and Use:
Tamiya Putty White is primarily used for filling gaps, seams, and small imperfections that may arise during the construction of plastic models. It is especially useful when you need to smooth out joints between parts or repair small holes and scratches in the surface of your models. It can also be used to correct misalignments in parts, ensuring a seamless and professional-looking finish.
2. White Colour:
It is white-coloured which makes it easier to see the putty as it’s applied and ensures that it blends well with light-coloured or white model surfaces. The white colour is also convenient for final finishing, especially when the model is painted with light tones.
3. Smooth and Easy to Apply:
The putty has a smooth consistency, making it easy to apply to gaps and imperfections. It can be smoothed over seams and edges to create an even surface before sanding.
4. Quick Drying:
It has a relatively fast drying time, which is beneficial for modelers who want to move through the filling and smoothing process without long delays. However, it still gives you enough time to work with it, smooth it out, and shape it before it starts to harden.
5. Sanding After Drying:
Once it dries, it can be easily sanded to create a smooth, even finish. This sanding process allows you to achieve a clean, professional result.
6. Ideal for Small Gaps:
It is best suited for filling small to medium-sized gaps, seams, and imperfections in plastic models. For larger gaps, modelers may prefer to use a different type of putty or filler. It’s particularly effective for model parts that require fine detail work, as it can be easily shaped and smoothed.
7. Compatibility:
Tamiya Putty White is compatible with most plastic materials commonly used in model kits, such as polystyrene and other similar plastics. It adheres well to these materials, providing a strong bond once it dries.
8. Versatile Applications:
In addition to filling seams and gaps, Tamiya Putty can also be used to correct the shape of certain parts or to add texture to specific areas of your models. For example, it’s useful for blending parts that don’t quite align properly or for filling holes created during modifications and conversions.
9. Packaging:
The tube design also ensures that the putty stays fresh and doesn’t dry out quickly between uses.
10. Additional Uses:
Modelers often use Tamiya Putty White in combination with other Tamiya products, such as paints or primers, to achieve seamless blends and finishes. It’s commonly used when working on projects like aircraft, tanks, cars, and figures, where precise detailing is required.
