[WWI] Fokkers, Albatros and nail polish

[james dickie]

Thank you everybody for the good tips...since three models fell victim to nail polish, I think I'll try out a different suggestion on each one and see what works best. 
But hey, maybe Voss did have a corral pink cowl!

Easy Lift Off. I have used it to remove enamel and acrylics as well as decals
without incident. Not sure about nail polish, but it wouldn't surprise me. As
for the pink color, I remember reading in Quentin Reynolds' book that in early
WWI there was an "urban legend" about a German pilot who flew a pink airplane.
Not sure of the cowl color, however!

polish. Ah, the joys of children. While the argument can be made that "Sure,
nobody knows the real colors from back then, so maybe they really were in
corral pink"...I somehow feel that may not hold true here. So...anybody out
there have a quick fix solution for stripping nail polish, decals and acrylic
paint, that will not ruin the plastic itself? I don't mind (much) repainting
them again...I just want to avoid building them again.
