Hey folks. On a (partially) related subject, can anyone tell me where I can get hold of "strip-a-kit" in the UK. Tried the sources on google and they all seem to be american and for legislative reasons cannot ship such a product off the continent.

Thanks dudes and dudesses!

I have only just recovered from the "poor" experience with ModelMasters enamal spray (in the tins, not airbrushed) which I had to strip from a Revell 1/72 F6F Hellcat. Even though the paint had thoroughly dried, I found that enamel thinners did the trick and took the paint (and primer!) back to the plastic in no time.

If the paint you want to remove is ENAMEL, then why pay through the nose for paint stripper? Some brands/types of this stuff can harm the plastic.
The old favorite of using CAUSTIC SODA is very cheap, reliable and very easy to get your hands on. You mix it with water, now what can water do to a plastic model?
It's as safe as the person using it and it does the job, without harming the plastic AT ALL.

It will not remove ACRYLIC paint, if this is the type of paint you have used, then oven cleaner is the way for you to go.

If you have never used any of this stuff before, then give it a go, if you want any further info, just ask.
