SPA Modeler

I agree with Mark. It dries in the tube after awhile. I’ve struggled to push out putty when it started to go bad. Any I managed to get out, I’ll add a drop of water to get it smooth to work with. Gotta make sure the cap is screwed on tight.

I had a hard time finding the PPP stuff locally when my local Walmart used to carry them. Thankfully, I found some at a hobby shop in Syracuse.

PPP reactivates with just a touch of water. I've ripped open tubes and put it in containers with caps.

You can get all of their products on Amazon.

Yeah... I won't order anything nor support Amazon due to the company's treating their employees like crap.

Nothing, I really like PPP - however I've tried the plastic and metal tubes and I've never been able to use more than 50% before either the tube cracks or it dries out.

Yeah... I may have disqualified myself from this GB...



Can you spot why?

Well, the wartime camouflage might be a DQ….

Yeah, sorry guys - I had actually painted it in all over NMF but, I learnt two things:

1. Even in 1/144 it's very hard to brush paint a model this big NMF - even when you can brush paint metallic okay.
2. Whilst the Clipper is a beautiful 1930's aircraft, aircraft this big in NMF are boring!

And then I saw a photo of Churchill's Clipper in wartime BOAC colours and that was that, especially with the sky undersides - sorry

I shall throw myself on something sharp forthwith...
