Photoeteched parts help

Just purchase the new Revell Kurtis Kraft Midget. It has photo etched parts

Outstanding kit

I have never work with these parts before before

What do I do

Hi , well just maybe I can help.I have not built that kit ,but I do use copius amounts of the stuff.First,For any parts that have to be round or tubular you can roll it around a round pen or even a paint brush handle.The parts that have to be folded, do this. Find the fold point then using a pair of blades from the good old utility knife trap the part on a flat surface at the fold line.Now using the other blade, slide it cutting edge first under the part working toward the other blade raising the part as you go.Now when you get it to ninety degrees then you have made your bend.Many bends can be made with a set of TAMIYA photoetch bending pliers. If those aren,t in the budget then go to HOME DEPOT and get a straight edged pair of pliers.You can dull the jaw teeth with a file if you are worried about damaging the part with the serrations in the jaws.Or better yet go to HOBBY LOBBY and go to their glass craft department.They have a pair of pliers used in stained glass that are wider at the outside than the joint they have absolutely smooth jaws.The other type you can use are called GROZIERS a strange looking pair of NOT plier ,pliers.One side of the jaw is curved like a birds beak the other side is straight…These if used gently can make real good bends.The jaws on them are quite prominent.(they use it to break glass) I do hope this helps you a little At this time not knowing what the parts are is all the help I can offer. tankerbuilder
