Well, here's a hint, but I'll start with a tragic story:
Iwanted to build a Eurocopter Tigre 1/48 with true working lights. This via plastic fibre (optic cable) running through the entire helicopter, even luminating the monitors. It worked great! (transparant screen as a base for the monitors, with dark grey-green paint with minute letters and signs scraped out this thin layer of paint). I first brushed it by hand. Then I decided - having gotten an airbrush for my birthday (hurray!) - that brushing wouldn't do the trick. Now: how to get that paint of?
The answer is simple (no further transparant parts were glued already): I put the entire kit in a bath of methylated spirits for quite some hours. With the vent of the bathroom the fumes were acceptable (watch yourselves now!). This made the paint peel easily of, using a hard (old and paintfilled) brush to scrape the remaining paint away.
But this topic is about de-gleuing! Yes, I'm getting there: the methylated spirits also made the "weldings" of the glue weaken and the kit was easily taken apart. And, another effect: plastic fibre completely turns into blubber in the spirits. Bye-bye kit, Tigre in the bin. Ah well, it does end up with a nice story, gooed idea for luminating monitors end a de-glueing and de-painting technique.
Not to forget: the spirits clearly don't work well with acryllics. It does come of, yes. Though it takes some more scraping effort.
