Hi Peter

Where you have drawn the square for the gunport, drill a vertical row of small holes (0.4 - 05mm) just inside of each vertical of the square. Drill them as close together as possible, then you can cut through each hole quite easily with a craft knife, starting at the top and drawing the knife down...Cool

Following that you just cut the horizontal top and bottom, then it's just a matter of file/sand back to the drawn lines...BigGrin BigGrin

Trust this clarifies...Cool

Kind regards
