Mission Models' panel scribing set

I don't own one, but the chisel tips are designed for removing plastic seams & such in hard to reach areas.  I think they would be useless for use as a scribing tool.

I've used the MC for a while. It's extremely handy. Definitely get one!

I just received the Micro Chisel and started thinking maybe I should add the panel scriber set.

Was hoping someone that has had experience with the panel scriber set would give us a first hand report.

That's great to hear. I purchased the JLC Micro Saw from Gerald at Hawkeye's Hobbies not to long ago and I obviously have more in that tool than I realized. Cool! I haven't had a chance to use it yet but I'm looking forward to learning how to use it and it's merits. I'm just getting back to this grand hobby, boy how things have changed, and have been building up my war chest of supplies, tools for my first project. Gerald has been a great help in pointing me in the right direction,

I have just about decided against the MM panel scribing set, at least for now.

Thanks Ernest for your input.

Patrick, if you bought the saw from Hawkeye Hobbies then you've probably already read this post on alternate ways to use the saw blades....

If not, then even MORE ways to love this little saw! 

Happy building!

Ernest - I had not seen that thread before. Grand information. Thank you.

I have the panel scribing set which I use occasionally.

Am I the only who has an issue with the little locking nut? It's so tiny that the smallest amount of overtightening will start to strip the nut and render the hex tool unuseable. I wish they could've made it larger or used a thumbscrew instead..

I'm sorry to hear that. I just recently received the MM Micro Chisel and have not taken it out of the package yet. I'll sure becareful of the set screw. Thanks for pointing the issue out. Kind of a spendy tool to have that problem.

I couldn't agree more.The best for rescibing the panel lines around the top and bottom of a fuselage or the leading edge of a wing after getting rid of a seam.
