You can get a very decent (Chinese made) set of scribers from Harbor Freight…using them on styrene, they will last forever.

They look pretty close to the Testor scriber. I might give them a shot, as they are only 2 bucks.

But has anyone had experince with the Taimya scriber.

Thanks,
Jon

I have one of the Tamiya and one from Squadron. The Tamiya is better for a deeper heavy cut on open areas and when scribing plastic sheet for cutting. The Squadron is better for more precise delicate work. The two compliment each other.
