    Clean residue from resin parts with tire cleaner.

I have Stark rocket, I think it is Monogram brand. I also have a red ME-109 and a Folke 190. Both are German WWII made by

    Cutting small PE parts from sprues

    Cut photo-etched parts loose with a hobby knife (not your good clippers). Clip as closely as you can, but be careful — they are naturally springy and elusive. For tiny parts, leave the fret in the bag and cut through the plastic so when they come loose, they’re still in the bag.
