MonaI bet the plastic of a Mini Art kit would make you scream too ,good luck with your project 👍

Jac Fleming AuthorYes I know what you mean, although I do like the MiniArt kits, very nice fit and good detail, but yes the plastic needs some special attention, when I start a new MiniArt I need to get used at the soft plastic.

Jac Fleming AuthorIt's well known that the plastics from MiniArt models are very soft.
There a few things I do when I work with those models.
1- Be 2x more careful cutting the parts especially the small parts, make sure you use a new blade.
2- Those thin beams are much easier to fit or glue when you make a copy from copper wire.
3- If you have to cut fragile parts give them a brush with Tamiya fast cement.
