anybody got an easy,quick paint removal suggestion?

did anyone build the 1/200 bismarck? if so, did ur instruction manual show where railings went , and did Trumpeter provide railings that were numbered and cut to size as on the 1/200 Missouri? any help would be appreciated.

many thanks to all who replied. will try all suggestions. again, many thanks.

what is the best way to remove paint from a model without having it fall apart? any input would be appreciated.

great job,Larry!! i am also working on this ship.I optioned to NOT use any upgrades, save the deck. couldn"t bring myself to justify them. I do know the amount of work involved,so once again, great job!!!

i appreciate you answering my post. So, you are saying that you can't build the IOWA as the MISSOURI,because of differences in the bridge, radars and AA armament. that is a bummer. If i had known that , I would have sucked it up and waited. Thank you for yourinformation. And yes i know upgrade kits are expensive I already checked out the Pontos website. Look forward to more of your pictures.

greetings everyone. i am new to this site. just discovered it. ihave to say, one fantastic build ,so far. can't wait for the next series of pictures. i am having a hard time getting my hands on this particular model, so i ordered the IOWA. since they are sisters, i figure a few small changes would be about all that is needed. can anyone comment? i would appreciate it.
