Curves Are Where the Fun Begins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tamiya 74005 Curved Scissors for Plastic are precision cutting scissors designed to make curved cuts in thin plastic materials smoother, cleaner, and considerably easier. Originally developed for trimming polycarbonate R\/C car bodies, they're equally useful for scale modelers working with plastic sheet, vacuum-formed components, and other thin plastic materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe secret lies in their specially curved stainless steel blades, which follow rounded contours naturally, helping you achieve smooth, well-defined cuts without the awkward repositioning often required with conventional straight scissors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut there's more to these scissors than curves. By cutting with the deepest part of the blades, close to the pivot, you can also produce straight cuts. This makes them a versatile addition to the modeling workbench, particularly when working on custom plastic components and scratch-building projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you're trimming a vacuformed aircraft canopy, shaping a thin plastic panel, or tackling a tricky curved outline, these scissors give you the control to get the shape right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause great craftsmanship isn't always about following a straight line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey Features\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-spread=\"false\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecially curved blades for smooth, controlled cutting around rounded contours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStainless steel cutting blades for durability and long-lasting performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for thin plastic materials, particularly polycarbonate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStraight-cutting capability using the deepest section of the blades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal for trimming R\/C car bodies, plastic sheet, and suitable vacuum-formed components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUseful for scratch-building and custom plastic detailing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComfortable handles for controlled cutting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVersatile design combining curved and straight cutting applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen trimming a vacuum-formed aircraft canopy, begin by removing the excess material in small sections, leaving a narrow margin around the intended cutting line.
