The kind of tools is always useful.But it is not too neccesary for plastic modelling, contrary to this :

Oh, do you know people who do use the saws though? I'm looking for something like in the link you sent me now. hehe

Grobet Swiss Ergonomic Jewelers Saw w/ 144 2/0 Blades | FindingTools

It looks tempting but I'll look for things more like the link you gave me Wojtek. ! (Above link)


Is this similar to the link you gave me? (below)

No, the saw you sent t elink to is for general cutting I mean bigger and thicker parts ecpecially mould sprues atc.. for much prcise cutting you need the one I have sent the link.

In Jan's post the wooden box is a set of scalpels with different cutting edges that can be replaced.. Also the one in the blue box on right.

B-17, don't get the jeweler's/bow saws. They are more for advanced modelling.

Focus your energy, money and time on perfecting your basic skills. Fancy tools do not make the modeller. You can make fantastic models right out of the box (OOB). And you don't need an airbrush to do so. Get some models under your belt and then expand your kit. Focus on technique, not proper airplane configuration, not proper colors, not historical correctness. Once you have that down, then you can compete with Wayne. And I'll watch with envy.

Thanks Matt! Just saw your post after mine! My dad wanted to get me the airbrush anyway for my birthday, so that's not in my power as of now, unless I told him no.

Most of those are too big. You need smaller low speed bits less than 1mm for most 1/72nd applications. Usually you can get a pin vice kit that includes bits from all the way up to 2mm for less than $12.

Wow really great selection of tools. But do you want to build a real plane or models.

Hahaha

I know I just went back there to look at the drill bits one more time and thought I'd show off. He has even more tools and what not, out in the garage. But out of all the tools no pin vice.
