Hi Tapper, id give this guy a try. email him to see if he can get you the stuff. im sure he can. you might also want to check out his other thingshttp://worlwar-ii.redirectme.net:1150/english.htm his email is at the bottom of the page. he does have good prices on his stuff so i guess it would be the same for putty


hope this helps

Why Squadron Putty?Is there any reason you want that exact stuff?

If it is for filling kit seams and on figures I use auto body red glazing putty.It comes in a 1lb tube at any auto parts store for under 10 buck and it will last you years.

I wondered about body filler, but isnt the grain way to big to be used on models?

No, not really. ASure the Squadron "white" is finer, but I usually end up with Mr. Surfacer 500 on top of everything else anyway as a final coat, so the slightly coarser grain of the "spot & glaze" isn't too bad. Some kinds are actually very fine. Remember, the car guys have to put really smooth laquer paint on top of this, so it can't be too bad.

The stuff I have is so fine they use it to fill VERY fine sanding scratchs.It is as fine or finer than any hobby stuff you'll get.

You can ask for it at any auto parts store.The stuff I have is made by USC(U.S. chemical and plastics).I think I got it at a Lordco parts store.White and Peters should have it as well.You may find it at Canadian Tire too.

There are many makers of it,just ask for red glazing putty.

I don't know where you live but you can try Pickering Hobby http://www.pickeringhobbies.com/. They are the local hobby shop in my area and I do kow that they can do mail/phone orders. I have seen the putty on thier shelves. Bought a tube of the green stuff almost a year ago. One tube seems to last for years...

Militaryhobbies/North Star have it, at least I think I saw it there this past Monday.. Also Hornet Hobbies (O'connor dr T.O.) has it.

Oops you said online.. you could try calling Military/North or even email, with Paypal these days I am sure they could likely ship anything they have in store with little problem..
