                        Hey guys,

                        Just a quick question, I need to remove some surface detail in a cockpit so I can fit some Photoetched details on (first attempt with photoetched Black Eye [B)] ), but I don't have any diamond files.  I was going to get the Testors need files, but don't know if these would do the job ? I can't seem to find anywhere that says what type of files are included (rounded, flat, oval etc)

                        If you can recommend a well priced set, I'm all ears !

                        thanks in advance :)

                        Check out the following sites:

                        Mcmaster-Carr http://www.mcmaster.com/
                        Brownells http://www.brownells.com/
                        Woodcrafters http://www.woodcraft.com/
                        Micro-tools
                        Gyros Precision http://www.gyrostools.com/default.asp
                        Shore International
                        Model-tool.com

                        When looking for good quality modeling tools, think: "Jewelry, gunsmithing, woodcarving, watchmakers tools, instrument repair, and camera repair." You will generally find higher quality than you find in places that sell primarily to scale modelers—and you may not pay much more, sometimes less.
