Hi there
You called that one right Reaper! If it hadn't been for this forum that HL Panzer IV would be languishing in it's box! I'm intrigued by your logo? I live in Fife Scotland, and that used to be the emblem for Fife! It's called "The Thane of Fife" think it dates back to the middle ages, he was mentioned, i think in Macbeth!

Cheers Ken, as i mentioned, it's like the Emblem of my home county! On the weld lines, Squadron filler gently applied, let it firm a bit, then draw a needle along it before it sets off! may need to have a practice first though! you can apply it with a small syringe! it's a bit fiddly! hope this helps?

Had a thought! ( not like me!)
Another cheaper option to the Squadron filler is Decorators Caulk in a syringe! if you mess up you can wipe it off! as it's water soluable! Got the weld lines idea from my early home improvement days! My sealing round the bath used to resemble weld lines as i was inexperienced using a mastic gun! (still am! lol!!) I used it like a welding rod! I was gently pushing back as i drew the gun along!
