I have started the strip down of this model as you can see from the uploaded images, however i have a small problem. I have been trying to remove the paint from the model, the top layer came of easy with warm water as it was acrylic, however there is a thick undercoat that wont budge even after platering it in modelstrip twice. Can anyone offer any tips on what i can use without damaging the plastic under the paint. The white paint is so thick it has covered much body detail and i would like to get it back if i can. look forward to any help or advice - Regards - Tony
