Body Filler/putty-what Brand????

[FenderMender]

During the late 50s and early 60s my brother and I customized plastic models using plastic aluminum as body filler/putty.

Nowadays, what is the preferred brand of body filler/putty?

(I would like to find a product that would be applicable to both plastic models as well as diecast models. If such a product is not available, then the best body filler/putty for plastic models)

Thanks for your help!

I use any of tamiya putties work awsome, But there is manydifferent types all depends on your application.

For small stuff I use Tamiya putty, for the larger jobs I use Dynatron Putty-Cote. It's a Bondo product, and it may not be available everywhere, but it's been what I've been using for years and it's what's readily available locally.

It's a two part mix which I highly recommend for bodywork on plastic..............stay away from the hobby tube stuff (Squadron comes to mind!)..............Tamiya is the only exception to that.

I use my putty over primer as I found it to bond much better than to putting it on bare plastic. The Dynatron dried within about half an hour or so and it feather edges beautifully!
