 :)Hello,
I have now started to build my very first R/C Boat. Model Slipway's puffer comes recommended for the complete novice in this field.
Part of the additional accessories is " Humbrol Model Filler". I would be pleased if anyone could point me in the direction of a source or is there an alternative.
Thanks & regards Ceres. :) :) :)

Any good model shop should have Humbrol filler, especially those that sell plastic kits. Revell aslo do a filler. Of the two I prefer Humbrol. But thats just me.

 :)Hello Doug,
Thanks for your very prompt reply. i should have read my transcript again because I wanted to enquire if this type of filler can be bought online since my nearest decent hopbby shop is 12 miles away. Thanks bernard.

A quick google for plastic model filler came up with the following:

I expect there are more.

humbrol filler is fine, its easy to work with and if you add ' plasweld' to the filler you can 'thin it'  this allows the filler to be softeneded and blended and worked.....

i hear both  the filler and plasweld are available from modelbox in bracknell via mail order.........

 but i guess any good modelshop should be able to supply these items........

If you have a Hobbycraft superstore near you, they stock it.
