>More advanced modelers will also likely sand, prime and paint the parts after the initial clean up further muddling the results. Side cutters are an important part of the modeling process, but they're only one part of the process.I've been using the Tamiya one for a couple of years but I could find myself replacing them with a cheap pair one they wear down. There's some "Xuron" (probably bootleg) ones on ebay going for pennies, they cut pretty well and are preferable for thicker pieces
