what knife or blade number for molded on railings? 1/426 scale

Hi ;

 I specifically use the good old number 11 slid backwards gently to remove the old REVELL  "Rail Walls !" It has always worked best for me .

GMorrison, on the Arizona or taking the railing off as i've done that to 10 of them so far when converting them to the OBB's from the Wyoming to the Colorado classes? 

Ain't that a pain.

are you working on the Arizona or the Currituck class seaplane tender?

Wire cutters for initial cutting of lengths and straight razor for cleanup  did the trick. It was less money at the hardware store than an X-acto chisel!!! 

I guess hobby tools have a Corvette Tax!

if the deck is off the Arizona i use small wire cutters to take most of the railing off then cleanup using #11 blade.

I also like to use single edge razor blades.

Xacto #17 Lightweight Chisel or eqivalent.
