I need to cut off the top light shields on the rear lamp housings to make them flat. The front has these shields on the top of the lamp housing.

One thing that I keep running across, is when copying existing models when building. There are shortcuts builders make that can mess you up. Some are obvious. I think that some are from the way the product is built to make it easier?

I'm working on the rear of the long hood. Lucky for me, I decided to get an exact measurement of the thickness of the rear top panel.

I can see on the prototype, that it's 2 (x 1.5mm thick roughly) panels sandwiched together. The top is bigger, and overhangs the middle piece.

On my MTH O scale model, it's just one piece (3mm thick roughly) the exact same size.
