Pinched nose tips?

[ScaleLifeNewbie]

About to do a pinched nose TF2 cab, and need some tips as I’ve never done it before. I’ve bobbed a Bruiser bed, but never did a pinch. Also, can I use automotive bondo to fill in the gaps and smooth it out or will I need to get something like the Tamiya Putty.

TIA

Yes bondo will work.

I just got done pinching the front, dove tailing the back and bobbing the bed of my first TF2 body. I tried something a little experimental for some of the small gaps and that was to use some of the plastic dust from sanding to fill the gaps and then apply a small drop of plastic weld to that area. I just let it dry as is and then sanded when dry.

It worked out great for me.

Thanks!

Good idea on the plastic dust, never would’ve thought of that.
