I haven't read all the comments here so, apologies for any possible duplication. For those of us on the European side of the pond, "Latex" paint = water based emulsion paint! It uses a latex binding agent. So, for all of us, myself included, desperately looking for "latex" paint, it's bog standard emulsion!!😂

@StyreneModelersHaven 2 ай бұрын

I am assuming the same paint used to paint home interior walls would be in Europe? This is called latex paint in the US. It is water based and has a rubberized component (latex).

@Paul-yh8km 2 ай бұрын

Highly unlikely latex is actually used in any paint anywhere these days, most latex use has been replaced with synthetic polymers, including in tyres although in that case some latex is still used. It's like the term Waxed paper, not really a real thing in most cases these days, since wax has largely been replaced with polymer substitutes.

I use Mr. Hobby white and thin it with Acetone to nearly a fluid. I use a brush to apply the putty. Consistency can be from thick yogurt to milk, so you can use the thickness you want. If you practice you can actually eliminate any sanding by going back with an Acetone wet brush and smooth the edges. But this looks really cool too.

Incredibly good idea, but small correction they haven't really made latex paint in about 20 years now as its all polyurethane or oil now. Don't use oil for this as acrylics cant bond to it. Also fun fact(can supply proof if needed to some extent), house paints are chemically identical to most hobby paints so you can thin them down with water and get a very similar result.

Sigh… This is a technique I personally developed like 20 years ago. I first used it on an F-16 build and sprung it on the modeling world and was excited! When I posted this technique, people called it “lazy” , and I should “just fill those seams like a real modeler”. Too funny after all these years it has caught on.

Agreed! Biggest pet peeve is aircraft kits not including a canopy paint mask. How much does a piece of precut tape cost? If they have the tech to tool a kit, they have the tech to cut a mask. A $200 Cricut will do the job with a cut file. But noooo…spend more for a aftermarket mask or hours masking.

@allanford9731 2 ай бұрын

@@davidkendall1614 Well, I don't use pre cut masks because I think they are not only very poor value for money, they can add a lot to the cost of a kit. The prices for a few bits of sticky paper are ridiculous so, I just make my own. As for including in a kit?Well, that's not a bad idea. I'd think that the economies of scale would keep the prices down so, they wouldn't add to much to the cost of a kit. Some kits DO include masks but,not many.

@davidkendall1614 2 ай бұрын

@@allanford9731 Good point. I’ve done kits where the mask was included…I am not talking about Eduard ProfiPack where you pay additional for the extras, but regular kits…so if THEY can do it, all manufacturers can. Even uncut masks in some Tamiya kits are useful. At least the required shapes are provided. So surely every manufacturer could at least print the shapes to scales, even if it’s in the instructions and not on self adhesive! Make it easier to self cut masks with precision. Glazed canopies with many individual panes of glass of complex shapes are a PITA, and they don’t have to be.
