Rough cutting on bodywork

[Mick3911 1]

I have made a bit of a mess cutting out the body in that there a lot of jagged cuts as i can't cut in a straight line. To tidy this up, would sanding the cut edges sort this out, if so which grit/grade of sandpaper would you recommend or is there a better way to sort it out?. Cheers

Yep, sanding will sort it.  I use some wet and dry I have lying around, not sure of the exact grade but it's fairly fine stuff.  I guess the grade you'll need will depend how badly jagged it is?

Do you use scissors or knife to cut?

Use a sanding roll on a drill or dremel easy fix !

Use sharp hobby knife from good brand like Olfa.

You can first mark all cut lines with tape.

Bit late now, but will bear in mind if and when I build another car
