Thanks all.Ralph Haus Ralph, no decision on which Vallejo Metallic I'll use yet, close my eyes and grab a bottle maybe. I found a photo of the aircraft here...
It doesn't look very shiny so maybe dull aluminium. I rarely clip parts from the sprue tree anymore. Instead I use these...
Fold em up and put them in a standard hobby knife holder. It takes a little while longer to saw the part off the tree but there are times that I can't tell where the cut was made. To fine tune I'm using 400, 800 and finally 1500 grit sand paper to remove anything that's left
I added to my post, so you may not have seen the edit? I have built some upper end, newer, Taymia kits where they have thoughtfully ended the sprue away from the cosmetic edge, having only to have to cut sprue to the (typically) glue surface. But many of the lower end kits, Airfix included, seem to not have caught on to this modelers dream sprue?This is whats left. Eduard has thoughtfully put about 75% of the attachment point on inside edge instead of the outside so most of the filing/sanding marks won't be seen
