Hi
I bought this 2.5m balsa battleship. A very well-made detailed model.
It is covered in a greasy dust. I am not sure what to use to restore it to not damage the paint.
I don’t know if the paint on the balsa is water based or oil based but it seems pretty matt (except on the hull is gloss)
I removed the bulk of the dust with a small dry paint brush but what is left is a bit sticky (I reckon nicotine). Its quite dirty.
Could you please advise how I could clean this. I need to apply some sort of product to remove the greasy dirt.
Here are some photos.
