Humbrol AE3016 Model Filler (Tube) 31ml, Model Making Product | Humbrol for Models, Solvent Based Adhesive for Plastic Modelling Kits, Low Viscosity Super Glue

Perfect for what u needed I will definitely buy again

I needed some of this filler for a model Spitfire (what else?) and it worked very well indeed. I needed to fill the indent where there was an option for a stand underneath and one bit where the fueselage and lower wing didn't look quite right. I put too much on and because it sets as you apply it, was quickly left with a smal lump. I removed this with some P1000 grit silicon carbide paper and after the paint was applied it was as good as I could have hoped for. I also wanted the wheels up, but there was no option in the kit for this, so I simply glued the wheel and cover in place leaving a small hole where the assembly would hinge from in the wing. Again, filled and looked perfect. Altogether a great product when you like to modify or finish a plastic model.

Perfect gor filling gaps in plastic. Easy to sand & shape. Quick drying. Pricey for what it is, but does the job!

This was the first time for me buying and using this product. I must say I was pleasantly surprised to how good it is. I have been building models for many years now and having previously worked in the automotive repair trade I use to buy small fine-grade filler. This time I opted to buy this product. Using a small piece of plastic as a spatula to apply the filler, I also used it to churn the filler after I pumped some onto a piece of card. With some premixed filler products the oil within the product can come to the surface so a light churn of the filler once pushed out of the tube will help. It was easy to apply and once dry very easy to sand with fine grade paper (320 grit) followed by 1000 grit wet & dry for a smooth finish. The only down side to the product is that if using in the heat that we have been experiencing this summer, the filler will go off quickly. Bear that in mind if using for the first time and only use small amounts so not to have too much waste.

Good quality filler quick to dry and easy to sand, works well on my 3d print done in pla

The new stuff is fine, I've tried those too, but the moment you open this you get that nostalgic smell of solvent, the putty goes on smooth and sands like a dream when set, in my very humble opinion this is far superior to the acrylic based fillers that never seem to set beyond the consistency of hard rubber. They most certainly have their place but this for me is the winner every time.

Odd stuff to apply. Sometimes dry paste comes out, other times it's swamped with oil. The oily stuff is amazing to use, sets fast, really fine sanding is possible, good enough working time - recommend for that. Just needs to be better mixed in the tube so you get a consistent dose out of the nozzle. Will look for alternatives when it runs out, but happy to re- order if I don't have time to research this. If this stuff was a car it would be a bmw - great when it works, but doesn't do that every time.

It's good stuff but but a huge blob of clear liquid comes out with the filler which is not always ideal, especially when you only need a small amount of filler to fill a small gap .. when this happen I mix the filler with the liquid like epoxy glue this also slows down the setting time making the filler more manageable.. but it's wasteful and annoying, some times the filler comes out without the liquid and then it dries way too fast

Shipping and price were what caused me to order this product originally, as I had never used this brand before. In preparing to order a second tube, I read through some other reviews that had low marks. It almost seemed like a different product. Aside from shipping and price, my use of the product encountered none of the difficulties I read in other reviews. The product required no kneading or special tip, I encountered no 'watery' substance, the product came out of the tube so well that I needed nothing to assist. I applied directly to the low spots and divots, using only the blunt end of the tube. Adherence was great no additional sanding was necessary, and after waiting an appropriate time for drying, direct sanding worked well both with 100 and 220 grit. Building up with additional coats worked well. I don't want to mention B*no, Test*rs, and JB *eld by name, but this product worked much, much better in all aspects (or I wouldn't be ordering another tube). Thanks to Humbrol for a great product!

This is my go-to filler for scale modelling. Doesn't dry gummy like other products, and is very easily to sand. My only gripe with it is it doesn't have much of a working time - the filler starts to coagulate and spot-dry as soon as you apply it to a surface.

Habe soeben diesen Spachtel ausprobiert. Gespachtelt wurden testweise zwei Kunststoffmodelle Maßstab H0, einmal Spalten ca. 0,5mm breit und 15mm lang und einmal Oberflächenfehler auf nahezu ebener Fläche (ca. 2cm²). Der Spachtel ist sehr fein, haftet gut und lässt sich super auftragen. Wenn man es frisch aus der Tube holt, lässt es sich sogar recht gut mit dem bloßen Finger bearbeiten (Es bleiben dann Fingerabdrücke). Hauptsächlich habe ich aber mit einem zugeschnitzten Zahnstocher gearbeitet. Holz scheint mir als Werkzeug am geeignetsten. Von chirurgischer Präzision bis Grobmotorik beim Verarbeiten einwandfrei. Je nach Menge lässt sich sehr detailreich arbeiten, aber auch flächig gut verteilen, ohne, dass sich beim Auftragen wieder große Stücke vom Modell ablösen und am Werkzeug klumpen. Die Oberfläche ist auch vor dem Schleifen schon sehr fein. Man könnte den Spachtel fast mit sehr dickflüssiger, mattgrauer Farbe vergleichen. Das Schleifen geht einfach von der Hand, hier keine Abzüge seitens der Bewertung möglich. Nachteil: recht kurze Verarbeitungszeit. Also sogar bei H0 oder Miniaturen schon fast zu kurz. Man sollte sich pro "Portion" auf 1-2 Details beschränken und für weitere Arbeiten eine Neue aus der Tube drücken. Nach ein paar Minuten (ca. 5, habe nicht gestoppt) zieht es an und krümelt. Bis dahin sollte man feinste und feine Arbeiten fertig haben. Größere Mengen als ca. Erdnußgroß lassen sich in der vorhandenen Zeit nur für "grobe" Arbeiten verwenden, mit anschließend mehr Detailbeachtung beim Schleifen. Für Landschaften zu fein, für Modelldetails optimal. Bin sehr zufrieden bis jetzt.

Très bien

So far so good, it’s works perfectly. Love it.
