                        I have one of the Tamiya and one from Squadron. The Tamiya is better for a deeper heavy cut on open areas and when scribing plastic sheet for cutting. The Squadron is better for more precise delicate work. The two compliment each other.

                        Luckly I have a habhor freight here in town.  I found these on-line
                        http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=91991
                        They look pretty close to the Testor scriber.  I might give them a shot, as they are only 2 bucks.

                         But has anyone had experince with the Taimya scriber.

                        Thanks,
                        Jon

                        You can get a very decent (Chinese made) set of scribers from Harbor Freight.....using them on styrene, they will last forever.

                        I have some old kits I was going to remove the raised panel lines scribe them back in.  Is this tool any good?

                        My local shop can special order it for me.  That or Testors but it do not look that good.

                         Thanks,
