davecov Posted December 23, 2019 Author Share Posted December 23, 2019 For most filling I used Humbrol Filler and Perfect Plastic Putty occasionally although on the hull I used Isopon P38 as well. They are not the only fillers I have but they are the three I am most comfortable with, especially Humbrol Filler. I didn't venture into the world of deck vehicles as I used those that came with the 1/350 HMS Illustrious kit. I don't know of 1/1250 scale vehicles as they are a scale I do not go near. Here is a good picture of some of the vehicles on HMS Queen Elizabeth: Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex-FAAWAFU Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 The world of RN deck vehicles in 1/350 is a tricky one. The flight deck tractors in the Airfix Lusty are basic, but OK - though it seems the RN has moved on a generation since; those QE ones above are not the same. However, beware the Airfix Coles crane; it’s significantly over-scale. See my Ark 5 build for details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midland1965 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Thanks very much. Armed with your previous photos, I'd worked out the Terrex AC35 and actually found a manual with dimensioned plans and side elevation but couldn't identify out the others to even start to find dimensions. Some tiny vehicle scratch building awaits! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
