Hi @Julian I added 2 images of the customized OLFA cutter. In essence, I relocated the blade outside its original location and secure it with tape. To ensure that the needle and blade is firm and do not move, I inserted wire insulator material.

Thank you @Julian. I made a few trials. once I am confident that the blade is not moving, I could make 2mm diameter circles easily. glad it was helpful

Album info
I wanted to know how far I can update this old kit with whatever I have on my bench. I have upgraded the kit with new recessed panel lines, new rivets, extensive wiring of all the landing gear, new ejection seats and pilots from Hasegawa, and aftermarket decals from Model Art. Big thanks to @D. Ninetalis who had generously provided the Model Art decal!
