Hi Red,

I always use files in different sizes.

Rolls-Royce 2 door coupe looks interesting and I like the way the roof has been cut leaving some area around the 'C' pillar for a better marriage to the body.

I´m not sure if this was a god idea because the curves in the area behinde the window are not the same.
I´ll see if I can fix this -otherwise I have a second junk convertible so I can do it like shown here in the forum before.

What Stephan is aiming for is shown below.



The Silver Shadow 2 door saloon by H.J. Mulliner Park Ward and so far it is looking good.

Red, like Stephan does, I always use a mini hacksaw and small files, never a dremel.

Roof is glued in - seems to work quite good.

No I´m thiniking about removing the tow hook.

zBret a good tool is a file for fingernails.
Example: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Malteser-Manic ... B00BCY1NXG
They atre very good for the fine work.

I have only used fine files for my modelling work. I did not own a miniature drill kit until a couple of years ago when I had to try and tackle my Dad's neglected toe nails.

If the model were mine, I would continue to work the area around the 'C' pillar and bottom of rear screen with fine files and papers. If you do remove the tow hook, you ought to fill-in the gap in the rear bumper with some putty.
