Carving a recess/ledge

Carving a recess/ledge

Having done the brutal part of the nose surgery on my Mosquito B.IV DZ383 ‘The Query’, I now need to scribe a shallow ledge or recess along the cut-out so I can lay the new transparency flush with the skin. You can see above that I’ve scribed the line, but I haven’t yet gone to start carving any deeper. Does anyone have any tips or tricks to carve that evenly and consistently? Or is it just a sharp blade, files and patience? Thanks in advance!

Decided to fold the undercarriage on my 1/48 Tamiya Mosquito, so I’d have something to show through the planned damage holes. Not the easiest conversion but with a fair bit of scraping and slicing, I think it looks okay!
