Percymon 2184 Posted October 18, 2011 Whether it be a restoration or a new kit build, a very good pair of side cutters is essential. It always amazes me how people can leave all sorts of plastic sprue tabs/nibs on parts whent hey build. I've yet to buy any used model that didn't need 20 or 30 nibs removing from various parts - i took 6 nibs off a SRB servo saver last night, they'd been there 30 years with previous owner(s) !!

njmlondon 570 Posted October 20, 2011 I use my Ultra Sonic cleaner. Really is a great tool. I have never used one fo these before. Looking online there seem to be a load for £50-£80 and then a big gap with lots at £250+. Does anybody know if the cheaper ones are good or are they a false economy?

WillyChang 1814 Posted October 20, 2011 make sure its a real ultrasonic unit (with a transducer making the ultrasonics) there were really cheap ones using a vibrating motor-with-a-unbalanced-weight, those are a total gyp. Might as well put your parts in a jamjar of solvent and give it a cccktail shake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
