But this kit is plastic... I use it to strip back paint on plastic all the time and if you've seen my WBR drama's, you know I have a lot of experience in doing that :)
Have to say, I have never tried it on styrene (evergreen), only plastic and die cast kits.
Also used it to remove a sunshade decal from the front of a plastic windscreen no problem.


Must have the luck of the Irish mate!
I use it to remove tampo from hot wheels cars and it works a treat, but on clear stuff...........not so good! Can I see a tutorial in the making? xcited

Too scared to touch it with anything, the way my luck is running at the moment it'll end up with no windows.

I done that with one of my nascar kits, was heart broken crying when I saw what had happened, so I know how you must have felt when you saw the damage. I looked at it as an excuse to build it again but without the clear coat.
