Humbrol AE3016 31ml Model Filler (Tube) for Models - Solvent Based Adhesive for Plastic Modelling Kits - Model Making Filler, Low Viscosity Super Glue, 31ml

Best filler I've tried yet. It hardens well and covers with both acrylics and enamels.

I needed some of this filler for a model Spitfire (what else?) and it worked very well indeed. I needed to fill the indent where there was an option for a stand underneath and one bit where the fueselage and lower wing didn't look quite right. I put too much on and because it sets as you apply it, was quickly left with a smal lump. I removed this with some P1000 grit silicon carbide paper and after the paint was applied it was as good as I could have hoped for.I also wanted the wheels up, but there was no option in the kit for this, so I simply glued the wheel and cover in place leaving a small hole where the assembly would hinge from in the wing. Again, filled and looked perfect.Altogether a great product when you like to modify or finish a plastic model.

Odd stuff to apply. Sometimes dry paste comes out, other times it's swamped with oil. The oily stuff is amazing to use, sets fast, really fine sanding is possible, good enough working time - recommend for that. Just needs to be better mixed in the tube so you get a consistent dose out of the nozzle. Will look for alternatives when it runs out, but happy to re- order if I don't have time to research this. If this stuff was a car it would be a bmw - great when it works, but doesn't do that every time.

This was the first time for me buying and using this product. I must say I was pleasantly surprised to how good it is. I have been building models for many years now and having previously worked in the automotive repair trade I use to buy small fine-grade filler. This time I opted to buy this product. Using a small piece of plastic as a spatula to apply the filler, I also used it to churn the filler after I pumped some onto a piece of card. With some premixed filler products the oil within the product can come to the surface so a light churn of the filler once pushed out of the tube will help. It was easy to apply and once dry very easy to sand with fine grade paper (320 grit) followed by 1000 grit wet & dry for a smooth finish. The only down side to the product is that if using in the heat that we have been experiencing this summer, the filler will go off quickly. Bear that in mind if using for the first time and only use small amounts so not to have too much waste.

great product easy to use and sand down

I am familiar with Humbrol filler and use it for that reason. It isn't the easiest to apply and I find that, only using small amounts, most of each tube is wasted. That said, it is easy to sand down and filled areas are undetectable when painted.

As a 3d printer/designer this is a must have product, I’ve sealed gaps and sanded down to the point of perfection.

This is a great product but the Oder is overpowering. Make sure you wear a mask or in very well ventilated area, perhaps both!!
