| Hi, I am seeking advice on how to remove paint form some little model bears.Its paint that I applied many years ago-the type of paint that comes in little pots that are used for model aircraft.I have tried white spirit and turpentine but its not working-any other suggestions? Thanks. |

| It surely looks effective !!!! It seems that nobody has tried it, so I would test in a model wich is not too precious first _________________ SUSANNE |

I don't want this to come across as cocky but out of curiosity do you mind me asking why you want to remove the original paint? If you want to repaint the model you can just prime over it |
