JerseyChris Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Hi chaps, I’m about to start working on a beautiful Pacific Coast 1/32 Macchi C202. As it’s a multimedia kit there is a fair amount of resin parts and some have some fairly thick attachment stubs on them. In the case where there’s a thick attachment with a delicate part attached, what’s the best approach to removing it without incurring damage? Hope someone can advise! Many thanks, Chris Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 I have a full set of Radu's razor saws that fit into an exacto handle. I find that the thinnest/finest saw out if the bunch makes quick work of resin pour blocks without making too much of a mess. Just wear eye and nose protection, as you never know about being allergic to resin dust. phasephantomphixer and JerseyChris 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phasephantomphixer Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Yup, any razor saw is good. Another cutting tip is to reverse cut- score with an X-Acto blade used backwards. Like with scribing, do first few passes lightly, then add pressure as needed. JerseyChris and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanes Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Razor saw it is and some drops of water prevent the dust issue. JerseyChris and paul fisher 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
