Hi all
Having heard that Mr Muscle oven cleaner can strip paint from models but SHMBO not having any in the kichin lichin Ah,kitchen thats it I knew it was somewhere strange :-) , I tried ,Fairy power spray
worked a treat,spray on,leave for 10-30 mins and then scrub with an old toothbrush.
It removed 20 year old Humbrol enamel,smashing
This will come in handy for reclaiming old figures, jerrycans, etc from the pile of scrap kits in the loft.
Hope this will help someone

Thanks Andy, I have tried Mr Muscle, but it's nice to hear that there's something else lurking, in that strange room in the house, that can be used I'll bare that in mind, Ta
