Preparation and use:

The rifles are cut from the casting blocks with a razor saw or nippers, the edges cleaned and the parts washed before painting. Because of the small, delicate parts, care should be taken during clean-up.

Required tools:

• Razor saw or nippers to remove resin parts from the casting blocks

• Files and sanding paper for working resin parts
• Cyanoacrylate glue (for resin parts)
• Brushes in various sizes
