I have a Gundam model I am modifying for wargaming. Is there a type of Halfords car primer that fills gaps when you spray it on? Thanks in advance.

There is filler primer, but it wont fill a gap it just smooths out surface scratches and is designed to be sanded down afterwards.

How big a gap are you wishing to fill?

Same as @collins here, filler primer is not going to cut it and would just bring further attention to the gaps. Plastic putty or car body filler than a sand after.

If your talking about the gaps in the shoulder joint , I would add plastic stock cut to shape first , glue in , let dry , then add Vallejo filler , sand smooth , prime and paint . Filler on its own might work depending on size of gap , but I usually add plastic

I second @collins vote… I use it on the Star Wars Legion gaps on most arms and it works great. But it takes some getting used to.

The manufacturer also did a great “how to use” video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUn2xnefo4I
