I like many have groaned when on the inside of every hatch , specially it seems with Tamiya , there is a filthy great series of ejector pin marks !
Well the tool makers add these to the mould to help extract the plastic from the mould in the manufacturing process . Key words ?????? tool makers The pin marks are a regular sizing that the tool maker added , how does this help us ?
The Historex Punch & Die set
The pins are the same size as the dies in a punch and die set sooo just add discs to the pin marks
, carry different thicknesses (or multi ply) for different circumstances , as most modellers know , it is easier to sand an "outy" pin mark than fill an "inny" pin mark .
I hope this helps !
