Modelstrip
Modelstrip.For removing paint without damage to the model.
Modelstrip comes in a plastic container about the same size as a small Vasline jar. It is a white paste, rather like clay. Over time it dries out and goes hard, but topping up the container with water and mixing it up soon recovers it.
To use 'Modelstrip', you simply plaster your model all over with the paste (few mm thick) in the areas that you wish to remove paint from. You then place the model in an air tight plastic bag (I used supermarket plastic bags and sealed the holes with sticky tape and an elastic band around the bag neck) and leave it over night. The following morning, remove from the bag and simply wash the model under the water tap. The paste will wash off and take the paint with it. In my experience of the product, a little light brushing is also required, but it is very successful and it is purposely made for the job: ie is does not attack plastics. It effectively disolves paint and has no effect on the surface on which the paint has been placed. I have therefore managed to use it successfully to remove paint from metal/brass models as well as plastic surfaces.
