If I'm not mistaken, that kit is resin so you would have to remove the pour stub.
On the first page of the instructions, I think they highlight the parts of the pour stub that need to be removed
I checked and there is nothing in the instructions about where to cut the parts at.
I have never done a resin kit before and i just dont have the experience with this type of model to know where to cut it at.
I guess i will just have to wing it!
Hi, Dave- I just took a look at the instructions at Ed's site- and yes, there is no cutting guide. It looks like the bottom of the engine won't be visible, so you can't mess up too much! ;) Eduard's photos show a fairly large pour stub that their assembled sample id sitting- that has to go. The base is a big box- cut it off with a razor saw. On top of that box is a smaller one that joins to the engine block. Whittle/grind/saw that off until the block fits into the trimmed-down nose of the model- be careful here. Don't cut yourself (been there) or damage the engine details (came close to doing that!). Any questions? It looks like a really nice set- I'm envious!
thanks chuk!
I have been out of the hobby for some time and thought this would be a good challenge!
I never did a resin model before and I thought this is going to be cool but I need to learn a little more about this resin stuff!
One quick tip on resin that'll bite you if you're not careful: Make sure to soak the resin parts in some soap to get rid of the release agent residue. Pain't won't stick to it otherwise. I think I've read about people using brake fluid too.
