It dries rapidly, sands smoothly with minimal shrinkage, and is ideal for enhancing the finish of hobby kits. Trusted by thousands, this versatile putty delivers professional results with Tamiya’s renowned quality. ## Description Tamiya Basic Type Putty is used for filling in seams when assembling plastic model kits or RC models that use ABS or styrene plastic bodies. The putty is gray in color and may be applied with a flat surface tool. NOTE: Tamiya's basic type putty is not intended to fill large gaps. It is meant to fill in seams and imperfections in plastic model surfaces. The basic putty may also be used for resin model, metal model and vinyl model applications. Review: Tamyia quality - Pretty good putty but most tamiya products are. Dries quickly and sands easily and is fairly durable.Minimum shrinkage and adheres very well . Not a great price but worth it for the good performance of product. Review: Excellent for Adding Texture - I've only so far used it for adding a cast iron texture to a MaK model (works amazingly for such a simple technique), but it works incredibly well for added texture. It dries very quickly so be mindful you'll have to work fast! That is a strength and a bit of a drawback, as the rapid drying time means shapes hold better and you don't have to wait a long time for curing. I've so far only used a finger stipple technique (with gloves!) and it can take a bit of time to understand how the putty moves and reacts. Excellent stuff, though. I love it. ## Features - Made by Tamiya USA; Tamiya USA is a United States based company; parts are sourced from Global producers - Tamiya USA part number TAM87053 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000BMYWYW | | Brand | TAMIYA | | Brand Name | TAMIYA | | Color | gray | | Compatible Material | Metal, Plastic, Wood | | Container Type | Tube | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 3,383 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04950344870530 | | Item Form | Putty | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Type Name | hobby model airplane building kits | | Item Weight | 1.44 ounces | | Manufacturer | Tamiya | | Material | Plastic | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model | TAM87053 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Versatile, Compatible with various materials | | Part Number | FBA_87053 | | Special Feature | Versatile, Compatible with various materials | | Specific Uses For Product | Repair, Model | | Unit Count | 1.13 Ounce | | Viscosity Level | Medium | | Volume | 1.13 fluid ounces | | Warranty Description | Limited warranty for manufacture defects only | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** TAMIYA - **Item Form:** Putty - **Material:** Plastic - **Special Feature:** Versatile, Compatible with various materials - **Specific Uses For Product:** Repair, Model ## Images ![USA TAM87053 Putty Basic Type - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61+pmnAA+7L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can i use this to modify a gundam kit? i'm planning on using the crest horns on the hgac wing zero in place of the wing zero honoo's horns.** A: Tamiya Basic Type Putty is used for filling in seams when assembling plastic model kits or RC models that use ABS or styrene plastic bodies. The putty is gray in color and may be applied with a flat surface tool. Note: Tamiya's basic type putty is not intended to fill large gaps. It is meant to fill in seams and imperfections in plastic model surfaces. The basic putty may also be used for resin model, metal model and vinyl model applications. **Q: Can this putty work on 3d printed objects** A: Maybe, it works on most resin-y things as long as they're not oily. It won't work on a smooth plastic type of thing. If you want something with more adherence, you might want to look at an epoxy putty. Those also tend to be thicker, though. **Q: will this work for metal figurine minatures or just plastic?** A: I'm almost certain this is primarily for plastic models, it might adhere to a metal figurine as a filler but I don't believe it could be used for bonding pieces together or anything like that, hope this helps. **Q: can it be thinned with mineral spirits?** A: Coming from experience, I would use acetone instead. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tamyia quality *by E***L on September 15, 2025* Pretty good putty but most tamiya products are.

I used to use Squadron's Green Putty, and this is just as good to work with and gives excelent results. The only difference is that this is gray instead of green. ## Frequently Bought Together - Tamiya USA TAM87053 Putty Basic Type - Vallejo - Plastic Putty 20 ml (0.67 fl.oz.) | White, Opaque, Consistent Finish - Tamiya 87038 Extra Thin Cement Glue Fine Tip 40ml --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://congo.desertcart.com/products/6867446-usa-tam87053-putty-basic-type](https://congo.desertcart.com/products/6867446-usa-tam87053-putty-basic-type) --- *Product available on Desertcart Congo* *Store origin: CD* *Last updated: 2026-09-16*
