ok, we all know the squadron stuff is crap, I usually use A B epoxy putty, but its hard to get it all uniform, I've seen some people using tamiya putty, is it any good?

Are you meaning the gray Tamiya putty or the A and B Tamiya putty ?

The first one shrinks yes, but I use to use it to fix some scratches etc... not to fill large gap.

One part putty : always shrinks
2 parts putty : most of the time no shrinkage
 
Tamiya putty for small pit marks and seams, great stuff...Magisculp for larger stuff, this is a two part putty, but superb stuff as you can smooth it out wet and it leaves very little sanding work once cured!

A B epoxy putty comes in a cardboard box with red lettering I need to find some to see the brand, I didnt know tamiya made an epoxy putty
 
Never used Tamiya putty.I used an epoxy bondo/filler that didn't shrink.I picked it up at Tap Palstics,don't remember the name though.
