Use Paul`s method, coat the conecting lugs with some TETC....leave for a few seconds and then make ya cut.........i used that method recently on some delicate stuff and it works a treat  |

With the Miniart super fragile stuff, I coat the whole part (turret grab bars) and then cut it off.  |

My preferred method is to cock it up and end up with at least three pieces and then think, yes it was a fairly cheap kit and yes it's an interesting subject but then carefully pack every thing back in the box and place it on a shelf.

Ah Mr Jabbly….we’ve been expecting you. I thought you may be along to show some disapproval being it’s Miniart lmao  Admittedly they is a higher degree of patience required required for a Mini-argghhhhh kit….or level of madness, one of the two |
