Default Couple questions

Just a couple simple questions for you guys-

What do you use as that filler white paste stuff in builds? Is that plaster or something?

Where do you get the plasticard you use in scratch builds?

how would I remove a small bump on a hull without worry of accidentally sanding down the hull or whatnot when its close, but not perfectly flush?

If you could do a T-44 would you do the 44a or 44m?<br type="_moz" />

I use this for filler.....paint gets scratched, green is better imo.....



I get most of my card from pearl paints on rt17 nj....its a arts and crafts store.....cheeper than most hobby shops.

I like this t44...I think it is a "b" but my soviet tank kungfu is weak....

As for scratch build?....I would just get a t55 tank for the hull and a profline kv85 kit for the turret and you just have to worry about the details....imo

Would a t-34/85 turret be acceptable?

you could use the T34 as the front looks very similar the 85 turret is a lot bigger though
