hi....i total gundam noob here. just got my first MG kit for fun.
gonna do it without painting. but the problem is, the darker parts, when i cut them off the runner/trees, there's still some white marks left from the snipping of my cutter. I tried to shave using hobby knife, but it only levels it a bit..and sanding with 1200 grid made the surface scratched and the white white marks still there.

any remedy to this? thanks sifus!

get a few different types, for different stages of the sanding (from rough to smooth), and also for different places (flats surfaces, and tight corners)

i see. if flat surface use which one le? corners should be ok since most of the part will be covered i guess.
