I have always beleived that to do a good job you need the right tools. There are some tools out there that are essential to have in your tool box or hobby room, this is one of them. I have used this tool before but never thought about sharing it with you guys so whoever owns one out there knows exactly what I am about to say.
I recently ordered a Dodge Demon from the Model Car Roundup website. It was pretty rough, (not to talk negatively about Model Car Roundup) so I had to do quite a bit of cleanup to get it in shape.

After cleaning it up a bit I started working with the hood scoops. I started thinking about how to attack the excessive resin inside the scoops without messing them up and remembered that I had purchased this great little tool. The chisels come in different sizes which came in handy in able to do what I needed to do.

These little chisels are very sharp and work very nicely, one must be careful when using them not only for personal safety reasons but also for the fact that you can easily mess up and cut off too much of your work, I recommend to just take your time and take off the least amount of resin or plastic when working with them. Patience and time is key here.

Here is a picture of the hood. As you can see, the one on the left is untouched while the other one is already under way.
