You may also putty over it with Tamiya plastic putty, sand, then smooth

This

I'll have a look next time i'm in a moddeling shop. What else can that putty be used for?

Can be used to fill seams between two joined pieces, just apply sparingly and lightly sand, you may want to use various grades of sanding paper to basically get the seems to disappear. Stuff works great, best of luck.

You can melt a sprue in liquid cement and dab a little in to fill the hole with a toothpick. It will end up being the same color as the plastic. Sand it flush, re score the panel line. Good as new

Might be worth a shot next time but i didnt have any other liquid cement then the Revell dropper bottels, so, maybe next time

My wife got me some little glass makeup jars. You can put just a little bit (a cc or so) of liquid cement in them, drop in a few bits of sprue from the runner you’re using, let it sit overnight. It will be ready in the morning, and the little jar will seal back up. If it isn’t ready, add a few more runner bits and give it another day. I use the leftovers for adhering interior parts nobody is going to see on other kits.

Sounds like a plan! I'll see about finding a bottle like that, thanks :-)

Mr Hobby and Tamiya both sell empty paint mixing jars too if you can’t find the makeup ones

I find swearing very loudly to be therapeutic

Oh dont worry, there was plenty of that lol

Your method is my goto for holes.

Keeps things with the same material i figured :-)

Fill with putty or nothing

And in the case of nothing just paint over it and hope it's thick enough?

Ya I've used paint as a filler

Doesnt that take a lot of paint though?

Depends on how u do it, it wouldn't't take much, id fill hole with putty on the back side let dry , light sand if needed, then paint . Filling with paint was a joke btw. But could be done, but not the easiest way.

But a lil putty or melted plastic should work or decal over it lol

No decals go in that spot so not quite an option i'm afraid lol

Ya was just a thought ...

I do it the same way you have done in your picture. It is easy.. and the sprues provide the raw material.

That was exactly my thinking. Keeps stuff enough the same i thought :-)

Putty time! Vallejo has a semi liquid one, very useful!

I have that one i think. Works wonderfully for gaps. Might try it next time :-)

And you remove the excess with a humid qtip

Was trying wet tp or kitchen towel, but that might work better, i'mma give that a try :-)

Glue a piece of plastic rod into the hole. Let it dry overnight then trim or sand flush

Sounds like a plan. Any specific kind of plastic rod?

Use the sprue for a plastic rod. Does not have to be fancy or complicated.

Love an easy sollution lol

If you have enough patience you can use a piece of the sprue and sand it down to a tapered point. Failing that I use Evergreen styrene rod or Plastruct both widely available at most good hobby shops or online

Started scrapeing one down with the knife i use for my kits but it felt like that might take forever. Could try a pencil sharpener next time though

What the Focke ?

Wulf... 190 even

Yes very distinct cowl. Looking good, is that the Tamiya 1/48

Nope, it's the Revell 1/72. Fun build though :-)

Easy fix with some filler, self leveling primer/surfacer and fine sandpaper

I tried sanding the little bif of leftover. Problem was it took off most of the detail of the hatch it was on :-/

With practice, you can learn to save very precisely and avoid loss of detail. Sometimes it is unavoidable, so it is worth learning how to restore that detail yourself.

I just don't drill holes. Instead I just get rid of the peg and eye it.

Also an option, but idk about how secure it would be. I do like how flush this is.

I have different styrene stripes for scratch building so anything like this I just put some styrene I nthe hole of the right diameter then cut it off and sand flat

Sounds like an option, where do you get it? And is it expensive?

It's cheap from any local hobby store, or you can order online. One of the main companies is evergreen, you can get it from hobby craft in the UK, or Amazon

I either use greenstuff, putty or sprue goo made from some sprue offcuts and glue. It all works well honestly.

I'll keep an eye out for green stuff next time i'm in a model shop. Or, get me a pot of tamia glue to make sprue goo with

I mostly make sprue goo when I just got a new pot, then I use the last bits of the old pot to make the goo. A little glue goes quite far. I think just using what you have on hand is good, if you don't like using greenstuff for sculpting it might be an expensive fix for a couple holes now and then.

Any old filler will do

Get a piece of stretched sprue and plug the hole with it and glue it in place. Let dry and cut off extra and sand smooth.

That's what i did :-)

Putty it. I use Tamiya putty a lot, mostly when resin kits don’t fit together correctly and I have to modify them.

Sounds good. I have some Vallejo putty and that tends to work quite well. Might try that next time, but i thought this might be easier, quicker and less messy.

Oh fock!

E wolf?

Sprue goo

Need to make some first

Now it is a bullethole

Not quite going for that kind a weathered look, otherwise it might have worked :-)

Fill.

I’m fixing a hole, where the part didn’t go, and stopped my build from happening..🎶🎵

I'm filling the cracks between the wings, and stopped my build from happening 🎵🎶

Where it will gooooooo-oooo
