After aot of deliberation I finally took the jump and opened up the quater galleries on my heller Soleil Royal. I would suggest very strongly to anyone who wants to do the same to do so prior to the galleries being installed. now I didn't do this so I had to very carefully cut the galleries out using a diamond tip burr. any mistake would have been disastrous, but luckily all went very well and now I have my beautiful heller 1/100 Soleil Royal with fully open galleries..
