And now, The Scharnhorst, is incoming

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?

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.

HI Kometa

Excellent "refurbishing"
cheers

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

Excellent overhaul Kometa. Beautiful.

Superb result, like this best of your restorations!
