The stuff I use is 96% Ethanol, works great but totally inadequate for a socially acceptable mix I am afraid....

Bloody h*ll fantastic!!

I tried to sand the stuff away but that did not work out like I wanted to. So I made the desicion to strip the plane. The first part was the hardest, when you pass the point of no return it is not that bad at all. Both upper wings are done now and it took some effort. It looks like a highly polished surface now. Could that be the problem that the paint reacted with the wash? Maybe roughing it up a little before applying a new coat. Well first things first a lot of paint and decals to get rid of. Rick.

Now that is a sharp looking Thunderbolt!!

OK, This suckers is still staring me in the face and laughing at me.........but I promised myself to finish unfinished bussenis this year, ( except for the Spitfire....) Tried to get rid of the mess but I make things only worse, everything I tried ends up an a sticky gluey mess. So I got me one of these https://www.aoadecals.com/32033/home.htm Yes it looks that I will be using decals, so wish me luck........might change my mind about that later on. I want to use gloss or semi gloss paint this time. Anyone knows a certain brand of paint that I can use or avoid? Next step is to get rid of al the paint, nothing that pure alcohol cannot fix there. No way a piece of plastic wins....... Rick.

Love it!! Hang some more stuff on the jeep and I see Willie and Joe........

Eventually I got what I ordered, but it took some time and effort. I avoid it now. Rick.

Little progress, but the Spitfire starts to look like what I had in mind. Does any know where I can find the file for the serial number for the Silhouette printer? Rick

OK I never thought of that....

Hi Alex, Sucks big time.......however you can fix it easily, after cooling down a bit. Sand the places where the paint went of and just mask the area's around an fix the paint. I always use a sort of Tamiya tape, looks like it but is a lot cheaper, First I put in on my table so that it looses most of it's stickiness and the use it on the plane. SOD would be a waste. But first cool down..... Good luck Rick.

Great show Ani!!!

Thanks for showing this. What am I worried about overspray........

Tried to make the paint look like it has been in the sun for a while. Made some progress this long weekend, it was nice. Tomorrow back to buseniss I am afraid. Rick.

You would not want to be outside where I live....raining cats and dogs right now.... Going all the way with this one look forward to more.
