Fix for the Revell Abrams side skirt



Revell had goofed with the side skirts on their Abrams kit, making both the left and right ones symmetrical so I had to cut the right-side skirt up and fix it. Here is the text for the picture of the modified skirt: #1 - Cut and remove 2,5mm
#2 - Cut and remove 2mm
#3 - Cut and add 3mm
#4 - Cut and add 2mm
#5a - Fill and
#5b - scribe a new line 2mm forward

But don't forget that for each cut, count for the material that the saw removes. My saw is 0.25 mm wide and removes (at least) that. So, four cuts later and glued together the skirt was about one mm short (Mental note to myself: Think before acting) OK, some more work and a few plastic strips fixed this.
