Hey guys I built a crew cab tamiya f350 a while back and haven't ever finished it because I'm not sure how to put the lines around the window back in for the window seals. I thought about a dremel with cutoff wheel but not sure.. Hoping you guys can give me some tips and get me in the right direction!

I know I wouldn't have the self control to do that with a dremel wheel or anything freehand. Maybe you could secure a piece of metal (or make something with similar profile ) and strap it to a piece of dowel rod. Could use the dowel as like a router guide. Would take a few passes but would enable you to keep the same profile for around the inside corners. Just my $.02 thinking out loud.

Draw it on with a very sharp pencil and then with a sharp hobby knife slowly cut it in.. Do a couple of practice cut on some scrape styrene first. It will take some time so do not be in a hurry......

Thanks for the help and ideas guys! Guess I'll do some more experimenting and see what works best, we'll see if I have a good enough hand for the exacto
