alright. i have StuG.III Stowage Set from Legend Productions Korea. Ive been told that CA glue is needed to glue all resin parts. but my question is, how does one remove the resin flare from the parts. a saw and sanding? or is there a easier way to remove the unneeded plastic resin from the pieces. |

Saw, file and sanding. Yup, you got it. Watch the dust however, it's hazardous stuff. |

you can also scribe and break of the excess material with your hand, but it takes some practice. If you don't do it correctly you break the part. The advantage is that you don't have any dust. You'll need a scriber for that, a knife won't really work that well. |

Resin is another world... Start with a dust mask, next fine saw and new sharp #11 blades.
If you have a dremel that also comes in handy but the mask and safety glasses are needed.

What Roy said and I don't recomment what Mat advised.
Also, the parts should be washed in warm soapy water and allowed to air-dry. This will remove whatever they cover the mold in to allow the piece be removed easily, which can prevent paint sticking....
Last piece of advice. Don't paint a major sub-assembly then start sawing resing while it's drying nearby! I learned that the hard way..... |

I've been working with full resin kits for many years now using the scriber and the only time I needed a saw or sander was for pour plugs of 1:350 ship hulls. Any leftover resin I always sand away with water and waterproof sandpaper or just a sharp hobby knife. I guess it just comes down to skill and experience. I live in a small flat, resin dust is just something I cannot use there. |
