[WWI] Paint stripping advice???

[Tom Mason]

Tom,

Both work, but the oven cleaner is the quickest. The oven cleaner to use is Easy Off Oven Cleaner. With Hydraulic brake fluid you have to submerge your model in it and leave it for up to three or four days and then scrub it with brush, an old toothbrush, to get paint out of the panel lines and any other little it the paints hasn't washed off from.

T.O.M.

    I'm re-learing my modeling skills after the long summer break away from it by working on a couple of Monogram Camels.   For the first time I've encountered an orange peal finish I can't live with

     

    How does one remove old paint other than by sanding?

     

    I've heard to use hydraulic (brake) fluid or oven cleaner, but can't remember which, and what brand works best in the US?  '

     

    TIA
