im not a master in gunpla modeling but base on my snapping experience, its natural to have those white marks after removing the parts from the sprues . just sand them of using a fine grit sand paper to remove them.  |

hi guys, i'm just starting out with gundam model kits. i bought recently a bootleg to practice before i buy bandai. i use a diagonal cutter for big cuts and an ordinary nipper to trim the excess, i just notice i always get white marks on the plastic after cutting and its horrible and i dont want that to happen in a bandai kit. is there something wrong with the way i cut? is it the quality of the plastic of the bootleg? do i need some other side cutters? forgive my ignorance, any tip from you masters would really be appreciated. Thanks ^_^ ei man, i just use ordinary cutters:  the trick is, do not cut the attachment point all the way using your side cutter. use a paper cutter (yellow in the pic) to cut the attachment point. it will still leave minimal marks. but better compared to using side cutters alone. hope this helps. cheers! |

the white marks are normal for colored kits. i got mine too.
here's some advice: try to rub the area with your fingers. you'll see what happens. ;D
