Newbie Question

Post by Digger61 »

Hi all, I've not done a model since I was about 15 ish which is now a very long time (36 years). My wife kindly bought me my favourite plane, the airfix English electric lighting 1/48 scale for valentine’s day.

As I’m new and trying to get my skills back which weren’t very good in the first place, the model requires some drilling and I just need to know what I should use to do this without ruining the model?

A pin vice and a set of micro drill bits, both of which can be easily purchased from eBay for less than a tenner.
