TAMIYAAmerica, Inc Plastic Scriber II, TAM74091

Great tool comes with extra blades easy to use

What i like it very lite weight and durability use of tool is Awesome I very easily cut thru different size thickness of plastic board and also on model cars it works very well I recommend this tool great for your hobby scratch building.

Tamiya makes fantastic stuff, this little scriber works amazing. Either cutting new (sanded off) panel lines, or clearing seams on your cars, the scribe cuts a clean line. The blade clears clogged or obscured panel lines, providing a solid line and clear definition. A great investment for your hobby.

My only reason for 4 and not 5 stars, is the plastic handle seems like it won’t last forever. Other than that, the design and functionality is great for panel lines. The blades are Olfa Japanese blades, which I have a standard razor knife from them also and it’s great. The handle storage for the blades is great. Definitely a tool all advanced model builders should consider!

As many reviews already state its difficult to get a very straight line without some sort of template, but as far as the actual scriber goes it works very well. So far Ive used it for rescribing already recessed lines that were filled during the seam filling process and unlike a knife it will actually remove the material, leaving it sort of coiling upwards. Its also well made, there's a good amount of weight to it and the blade is retractable, being secured by a hand tightened screw. It doesn't take any pressure to scribe the line, the weight of the tool alone is enough to do an excellent job.Again the scriber isnt an automatic answer to all your scribing needs, but it most certainly will be my go to scriber.

This is really sharp and has really help with making my panel lines more visible after layers of paint has been applied.

Best tool for plastic models scribing on the market.

It is well designed but take your time. Use light pressure.
