                        In need of plastic surgeon. Lol. Want to use resin aftermarket guns on Tamyia 1/48 Wildcat. Need to remove plastic on wings to put in resin gun bays. But want to preserve removed plastic to use as an opened gunbay hatch. I have read about drilling small holes and then sawing out piece but I want to preserve intake. Any ideas?

                        Usually it's very difficult to save both halves of a cut. Just because of the thickness of the blade taking away that much plastic.Recommendation is to make a new gun bay door from plastic sheet. It will also be much thinner just like the thickness of the real thing
