ATTENTION: This model requires the upper hull to be cut. It’s a difficult task, BUT ONLY if you don’t have the proper tools. If you don’t have a precise handsaw, we highly recommend our cutting set, which includes a very thin hand saw (0.36mm) and a special guiding rail for it. Then the task becomes stress free and very easy. You can use this KIT for your other projects in the future too. Just ask as about the saw and rail before or after the order.
With the sharp saw and our guiding rail for it, the cut line will be almost invisible. Check yourself on the photos below:
