Superb result, like this best of your restorations! :thumbs_up_1:

Excellent overhaul Kometa. Beautiful.

Easy off oven cleaner is the same thing. Takes off model paint pretty well. Definitely use eye and skin protection,use with ventilation!

HI Kometa

Excellent "refurbishing" :thumbs_up_1:
cheers

Hi again

I used Sodiun hydroxide (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_hydroxide).

[color=#BF0000][b]��� Caution !!!!.[/b][/color] It requires hand and eye protection, and do it in a ventilated place.

I like it, how did you take the paint off?

People may scoff at those old Tamiya kits but man if they don't clean up nicely! They just need a little TLC and PE if you prefer. Nice job man :thumbs_up_1:

Hi all

DKM Gneisenau � Tamiya 1/700
In 1986 (Don�t remember) I build this ship. OOB, No photoetched, no airbrush. Beatiful?
