Cutting the body

Razor saw if you can, otherwise, try using the back side of the point of an #11 and just keep going over it until it cuts through.

Thanks Madda. Hopefulyy I don't mess it up first time out since I don't have a donor to try it out on.

I just cut out the door on my 1\72 spitfire. If you're careful and paitient, you can do it with a blade pretty easily. The fuselage was too small for my razor saw to get into, so the knife was my only option. Remember to allow for the width of the blade in your cutting. If you don't cut out quite enough you can always go back and trim a bit more, it's much easier than adding plastic that you accidentally cut away.

True, but seeing ow this is going to represent a shade tree modification on the race car, I don't think it has to be perfect, the one in the picture looks rather rough.
