GazzaS Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Nice cutting, Harv. I've taken to use the method where you drill a line of holes and then the saw follows the holes. I had too many instances of saw-drift in my life. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Nice result with the first cuts Harv, almost there , just joking. On my Fly Arado build, I noticed that the plastic is quite thick and a bit on the brittle side, but good to cut and saw. Dyno Tape helps a lot, hindering scratch marks, but be careful on clear parts, where it leaves residues. Cheers Rob 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaireckstadt Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Nice progress Harv! Cutting is always not easy but important to reduce rework. I also use the Hasegawa saws but I strengthened them with stripes from old photoetch glued to the surface to make them stiffer. Easier then to use. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Slow and steady Harv. But nice clean work at the same time. It looks like there won't be much left of the Fly kit once you're done. Carl 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Harv Yes ... getting everything to align perfectly is surely the key in eliminating problems down the road, which at times has always plagued me. Keep 'em comin Peter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shark64 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Well thats looking pretty sharp. Dont forget to add the floor when u do your dryfitting parts since it does stretch the fuselage a bit. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
