Hi Makko, well done on taking on a mammoth project.

Reference cutting small parts from the sprue, try cutting the sprue away with the part still attached, then carefully cut the excess plastic and remains of the attached sprue away from the component. It helps reduce any inherent tension in the moulded parts. Also try cutting small parts in a large clear plastic bag, it saves them from being devoured by the dreaded rug monster! A few of my models got finished minus an odd machine gun or pilot when I was a lad!
(There are several modelling forums online that could help with any other advice about this kit. It has generally received great reviews.)



Good luck with the build, keep us posted.

Regards,
