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

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

[Kometa]

Hi again

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

��� Caution !!!!. It requires hand and eye protection, and do it in a ventilated place.

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