Thank you James. I did do a bit of wrapping he flexible part in duct tape. It's holding well enough while still giving me options.

The big question is how sharp are they and how well do they hold their edge?

And I picked up a few items that came in yesterday.
I already took a good look at the kit. The 2 tanks are quite small. The instructions are NOT clearly labeled for which is which. Basically the build is done in parallel, hull, running gear, hull deck, turrets. I am going to go through the instructions and label the steps for which version it is. For the most part it is easy as step 1-1 is the Ausf. A, and step 1-2 is for the Ausf. B version. I did see a couple of steps though that were step x-1 and -2 that were two parters for the same version. At least the full color booklet for the markings is real clear as to the differences between the two versions.

What are these 3d decals?

Dude!!! You're gonna LOVE those!!!! They are decals with raised details. A Quinta Studio decal for a console on an F-14 Tomcat
They are indeed razor sharp but the durability of the edge is still being tested.

I already have several sets. These are printed and almost as sharp as the Yahu panels in detail. With the quality of the 3D print and the high res color print, they are the best. In fact these are nicer than the Su-25 set I bought a year ago.

The Flashmaster blades interested me, they are super thin and flexible, so we ordered up a set to try out. That's nine blades in the palm of my hand, stay tuned for a test drive and review.
Flash Master Blades | Designed to trim flash.
Welcome to Flash Master Blades. A slimmer, flexible hobby blade desigend to remove flash. Our blades give you much more control of how much flash you remove. Removing flash has never been been more satisying.flashmasterhobby.com
Mike, what happened to the test drive? It would be great to have another perspective. Especially durability, since I only have received them and you might have used them much more?

They work well, especially for flash. I used them to remove some 3D printed parts with success and even some Meng bolt heads from the sheet. Rhino bought some and mentioned them in a thread, not sure which. I haven't dulled my first one yet, but haven't had that much time at the bench.
Today, I received a package from Singapore!

Winston Vermilyea (of Wings and Treads fame) had some of these at the Mad City and Fleacon recently. They're amazing. Not too many 1/72 subjects were covered at that time. I didn't see a website for Winston. You maybe could find him on Facehole.
