    Upside down barrel!!!!

    Hi guys,
    I know, I know I just don't know how it happened lol. I'm thinking of cutting it off just behind the ring at the back of the big part and rotating 180 what is this called? Any suggestions for the best tool to use to get a clean and straight cut? It won't separate I've tried that. Kind regards adam

    I’d use a modeller’s saw. Cut it nice and square between the bore evacuator and the band right behind it, then glue a disc of plastic card the thickness of the saw blade between the two pieces.

      We all do it at some point Adam, but Jakko has given you the best answer to get it sorted.

        Best thing i bought when i came back to modelling was a JLC Razor saw.
        Very fine cut.

              I've made some misakes on the trucks and by pushing a sharp scalpal blade into the joint has always worked for me, but don't lever or pry incase the blade breaks, Italeri trucks are famous for two ways or two options and i've chosen the wrong one a few times., the blade has come to the rescue no damage done.
