I know that gap fillers can be a subject of some personal debate and preference, so here's my two cents: I've found that Bondo Glazing Putty, a single element material (not a two part material that needs to be mixed, like Bondo Body filler putty) is really superb. In addition to being smoother than Squadron Green or White, it has the real advantage of not using a toluene based vehicle. Hence, it does not melt or etch plastic, as can happen with Squadron. After drying, it feathers very nicely, and adheres well. It ends up a sort of rust red color when dry, and takes paint well. A big tube runs about $2.99 in Auto supply stores.

As always, gorgeous. While I can pick out some obvious details that go with specific a/c (the Stuka landing gear, for example), any guidance on what specifically applies to the Walrus?

The only thing to do with this rather poor model. Some major retooling would be nice here. Just my two cents. :-) Back to buisness. Does any of you know some good books or web sites concerning this subject. THANX.
