Hobby Tool Kit Pro (14 pcs)

Revell Hobby Tool Kit Pro - an extended tool set

An extended set of modeling tools for builders who no longer get by with basic equipment. It contains sprue cutters, a precision knife with a snap-off blade, tweezers, six needle files of various shapes, a pin vise with interchangeable drill bits and a cutting mat measuring roughly 30 by 32 centimeters. What the basic set does not have is precisely the pin vise and the needle files, which open up work on holes and profiled surfaces.

What the set is for

A pin vise is the tool that moves a build up a level. It lets you drill out gun muzzles and holes for antennas, exhausts and struts, that is details which look blanked off in plastic. Needle files of various shapes then let you true up a surface that a flat file cannot reach: a round hole, an inside corner or a groove. The rest of the set covers the everyday jobs from separating parts to sanding, so a whole model can be built with it without reaching for any other tools.

Use

• Guide the pin vise perpendicular to the surface and start with the smallest diameter.
• Choose the needle file by the shape of the surface, not by what is at hand.
• Store the knife with the blade retracted or covered.
• Do not expose the mat to heat, as it will warp.

Who it is for

For more advanced modelers and for anyone who wants the equipment for drilling and shaped sanding all in one place.

The knife, the blades and the drill bits are sharp. Work carefully, protect your eyes and keep the set out of the reach of children.
