Good content...the gbu's look really nice. I have had a tube of this on the bench for a while but haven't tried it out yet. I've always used the Mr. Surfacer 500.
G'day Bobby, thanks so much for this product demo. I used to work with the RAAF's C-130s which, as you know, have the entire cargo decking and ramp door covered with wide strips of anti-slip material (in reality a thick 'sandpaper' like adhesive sheeting made by 3M). These days I've modelled many C-130s and other military transport aircraft that all have this interior finish. It really was a big help while moving around while the aircraft is in flight. I've used 500 Surfacer for this effect but I think it lacks that authenticity. That's why I'll be getting a couple of tubes of this product. I generally don't go for the MIG Jimenez (or 'Spanish style' of over the top weathering) accessories but this one looks like it's spot on. I also do a lot of WW2 models and the old style 'iron bombs' had a sort of roughish finish to them, probably because there were millions of them made and it was quicker and cheaper to not finish them off to a smooth surface. With a bit of thought I'm sure this product has many other modelling opportunities. Cheers, mate and thanks again. Bill H.
man i feel soo stupid i just spent like an hour to paint wheel caps for m1a2 messing with my fingers, droping it, then using q-tips and i never thought about usiing styrofoam :)
using Mr Surfacer 500 applied by brush in stippling motions. works fine.
Great stuff! I was using it at my Academy Abrams kit in 1/35 scale. With small brush and stippling motions it gives a very nice and smooth result.
Great little review / tutorial Bobbie. I’ve never heard of this stuff before. Going to have to get hold of some & give it a try.
Hope you enjoy it!
Excellent and informative video. Well done!

It's also great stuff to give texture to pilot's seats.
Hi, when will the victory start up again?
Awesome, thank you!
You're welcome!
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it

Would be better to highlight ur work and be more realistic if u at least paint the thermally protected area with a light grey
