Stripping paint of an old model ?

I've found that a well-used credit card does best for me. I simply drive over to the hobby shop, find a replacement kit, and plunk down the plastic. Works every time!

Word of caution, the active ingredient in Easy-Off is lye. It is fairly caustic. I normally use one of my wife's dishwashing gloves on my left hand while handling the kit after it has soaked. When I take smaller parts off like road wheels or tools and machine guns, I put them in a smaller zip lock sandwich bag.

Thanks for the help fellows . I'm going to try the Easyoff methode sounds like that will work ...

I use fume free Easy Off oven cleaner available in most supermarkets and discount department stores like Wal-Mart, K-Mart, etc.

I get the larger size zip lock freezer bags (1 quart size?), put the kit inside and liberally spray it with the Easy Off. Normally I disassemble the kit as much as possible removing the turret, tracks, road wheels (if possible) and any little loose parts.

I let the model and bag sit overnight, usually in our downstairs bathroom sink, but you could put it in a mop bucket or kitchen sink in case your bag springs a leak. Use an old toothbrush and toothpicks to work the loose paint from cracks like panel lines.

Once it's basically stripped, I wash it thoroughly with dishwashing detergent and let dry.

Don't throw it away. I purchased a product from mirco-mark called polly s easy lift off. I have not used yet, but the can says it's safe on most plastics.

I have used CSC(Castrol Super Clean) with great success but, never on a fully completed model. I have done it on parts that have been glued and it doesn't affect the strength of the hold.

Maybe someone can give you a better option.
