Yeah I can't say enough good things about them. I tried generic ones from the beauty supplies at Walmart and they're not even close to being the same.

Re: 1/72 Testors XR-7 Thunder Dart
I grabbed a bunch of surplus beauty salon type sanding stick files at work a few years ago. It helps get rid of the hard flash areas and injector pinholes in a hurry. Then I go over with a proper hobby sandpaper files to remove the excess scratches.
I've got those micro metal files too. Those were my grandfather's and they work wonders in tight spots.

I tried the beauty supply type and they sucked. Not even close to the real ones.

Great work on the Lawn... I mean Thunder Dart! Kick me if that's already been used on this build. Pretty cool how Testors would come up with a kit based on speculative news stories!

A few companies came up with speculative Stealth designs back before the F-117 was only rumored and not yet revealed.

Thank you! I think a lot of these designs were made from paper designs from the cold war.
