I don't plan to build the bungalow straight from the packet. There's no fun in that.
First improvement involves the guttering. While the bottom of the channels is modelled, the top is flat and since it's the but you see, looks odd.
No problem. Run the Olfa cutter along the middle with the aid of a small steel rule. Then open up the channel using a round needle file. It's not really filing, more gouging out a curved channel. There's probably a "proper" tool for the job but I don't have it and this works fine, which is all that matters.
A little smoothing with some sanding needles and it looks a lot better. Not sure why Airfix didn't do this themselves as the rest of the roof moulding is really rather nice and detailed.
