    Hi Laurie, it's a roll of the dice getting the flimsy resin parts separated from a giant solid blob of a base...........for this reason I generally avoid resin kits if possible. Good luck with this and hopefully you will have better results as you go. Rick H.

      Good work on this Laurie. Canโ€™t help with the resin ring though. My only suggestion is a finer saw so it puts less stress on the part....

        Thanks Rick. Actually the resin came with the kit so no option. Agree I avoid resin add ons nothing but a pain never look the part poor finish (mostly).

          Have you tried blue tacking it to the bench? It wonโ€™t hold it rigid, but will help support while you saw. You will have to remove the part, turn it, and stick it back down, to cut all the way around.

            Brilliant Tim :thumb2:. Used C/A on resin casting back plate glued to a bit of plastic out of the "may come in handy" box.

            Piece all intact & took 10% of the time on the other one.

                      "May the Force be with you".......Hi Laurie, nice to see this moving along, Love the idea of having the cargo door open with a bit of loading activity on the flight line/ramp area...should be very interesting. :thumb2:

                                It always happens a big spanner in the works as I have started to accelerate (vintage style).

                                Suddenly noticed the missing bit. The laugh is one set of decal pictures shows the RAF version. No wedge. The second picture with decals shows it with the wedge.
