                        Triangular files will redefine the outer ends of the cooling fins. Near the center, you sometimes have to use a #11 blade. It can be a lot of work cleaning up mis-matched mold halves on those engines.
                        Good luck.

                        Anyone who built the Tamiya Corsair - how did you deal with the mold lines on the engine cylinders? I can't see any way to sand them out without losing the detail of the cylinder cooling fins.

                        Help!
