Idiot!

So, I am like totally, building Tamiya's 1/350th Yukikaze. It has these raised things molded on the deck...they look like grossly out of scale tread plate. Why would Mr. Tamiya put those on there? Who is he trying to fool? So I thought I would be a smart guy and chisel them off.



The left deck is my masterpiece, the other deck is the replacement deck sent by my nice friends at Tamiya America.


Here is a pic of the Yukikaze. Oops. Large wooden slats. Yup. Idiot. I'm sorry Mr. Tamiya, I will never doubt you again! Here let me get your slippers.


Time to get to work. First, grind opening in old deck.


Then use pliers to carefully rip the deck sections out while constantly reminding myself of all the wasted effort...


Main deck is next. Actually, I like grinding. Very manly. (coughs).


New decks. Time to start again. Thank you for your  time.
And don't be an Idiot.
Trust Mr. Tamiya.
