Estes DARC-1, #7307 Build Part 8, Removing The Back of the Aero Shroud



The back end of the aero shroud is cut off around the raised step.
Trace around the raised half circle with a pencil.
This plastic at the "hump" is thick, I'd recommend using a thin razor saw to cut through it.
The rounded plastic wall near the fin slots is much thinner. Cut through this round side carefully with a sharp knife. Mark with a pencil and cut with a few light passes. 
Be Careful - Your blade could go through the plastic when you don't expect it. Don't let it get away from you -  
Cut these curves first, then work on the flats connecting the cuts.





This picture shows the thick plastic at the top half round.
The outside plastic towards the fin slots is thin by comparison.
