Removing paint from clear plastic

Looks good, I am building the same model and using the Eduard masks. Which masks do not cover it? I would like to know so I do not make the same mistake.

You sir , Are a Genius !!!

I never would have thought of  using a paper towel to "concentrate"  paint remover, ( or , in this case, Purple Power ) to a pin-point location on a part.

( I can "Guarantee" that I will use this trick .... repetedly !)

Thank you for Posting  this  !

I also use Purple Power as a paint remover.

That was a very clever idea.

I would have thought laquer based paint would have crazed the clear plastic. Also, though I have used purple products to strip acrylics, I didn't know they worked for oil based.

Thanks, interesting info.

The top of the front and rear turrets are the problems. Eduard recommends using a liquid mask on the tops of the turrets. Blue masking tape would work just as well.

I've done the same kind of pinpoint paint removal, on a 1/20 scale figure's face.  I messed up one eye:

but I didn't want to strip the whole piece and start over.  So I used a paintbrush and SuperClean (my paint remover of choice) to remove just the bad paint:

and then I could do her eyes over again (beg pardon for the poor lighting!):

That's a good fix. Removing all of the paint just to repair the one eye would be a shame.
