Removing Molded Surface Details?

Hi Gang,

Just received this Crown Premiums 1/24 scale diecast 1950 Ford Stepvan to replicate my hometown's original "Emergency Unit".

1st-Rescue-Truck_web.jpg As you can see, the diecast has 2 sets of horizontal raised bars that need to be removed.

David

should be an interesting project. keep us updated.

Yeah, work it down carefully with a Dremel, probably a drum-sander tip, but NOT all the way to the surface. Finish taking it the rest of the way flush with a flat file.

btw, i've found the 1/4" drum a lot more useful and easier to control than the 1/2". especially for grinding styrene.
