Doing well George.

Good stuff Geo. I've kept various foam packaging from electronics purchases. Cost me nothing.

I use a similar method for cutting masking tape, except that I use a cheap plastic vernier that was given me many years ago.

Thanks Vic and Andy. While waiting for paint to dry, I tackled the resin wheels Can't recall when I got them but I'm sure it was in the last century. The razor saw made short work of this. Can't remember when or where I got this from but found it on my bench a week or so ago

​

These are needed because this aircraft has different tires than supplied by Tamiya. I thought the bulge of the resin was too pronounced but its the same as the photo. The wheels need to be bored out to accept the plastic axles so I got my drill set and tried them into the plastic wheel until I got one that was a keeper

Amazing details in these accessories packages. This is so far beyond what I had as a kid. There was Aurora, Monogram, Revell if I was lucky… and the fabled Airfix.
