    Paint removal .

    I started a 1/72 harrier on Friday and really messed up the paint job on so I was wondering what household cleaners might fetch it off but not damage the kit I have heard that oven cleaner works but the only stuff I have might melt the plastic

    Any help is very much appreciated

    what paint have you used?

    mr muscle oven cleaner is great for removing acrylics................brake fluid is good for rattle cans

    just be aware of all the H&S considerations with whatever you use
    Per Ardua

    We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no ones been

          For acrylics, I use this but too be honest I don't need to use it too often lately

            Alan what sort of acrylics as they are some very different to each other.

            If it is Vallejo then a Friday effort will be removed by Vallejo Airbrush Cleaner with out any effect what so ever except for messy fingers.
