1. you can put some small amount of putty on the unwanted groove 'panel' lines, then sand it away.
2. not sure how many hours. i tried soaking a small part of my Astray before in Zonrox, and it took a month to remove it. not sure though about the other modellers experience.

Break fluid works fast in removing paint, you have to check every hour bec too much will make plastic brittle. You can also reuse fluid, don't throw it away after single use.

Usually break fluids are risky, can damage the plastics. I have some lacquer paints, and I just use Iso 91% alcohol, it strips the paint, but with the help of a little brushing and sanding though. Get Mr. Color Topcoat or Mr. Super Clear Topcoat. Very good! vic01 |

Mr.Color Topcoats and Mr.Super Clear Topcoats spraycans can only be found at hobby stores such as Lil's Futaba and STC. price range for these per cans are P400-500. and they're Lacquer based.
if you're on a budget, you can use 'Clear Coats' Spraycans from local hobby stores. such brands are RJ, Nikko, Pylox, etc. price are P150.

finally, found an acrylic based topcoat question regarding acrylic paints in bottles that can be bought in hobby shops. Can I use it directly from the bottle? or do I need to add up some thinner or something to the paint? thanks |
