Yes, thanks for the info. I'll try the mixture tonight when I strip the horizontal stabilizers and cowling.

The alcohol/acetone mixture worked excellent! I mixed it 50/50 and the paint came off rather easily. :-tri

After finishing the stripping process I repainted the cockpit from the hideous blue to the "Mitsubishi cockpit green" I mixed up for the Zero. This picture is of the first coat, the second covered much better.

After finishing some detail points in the cockpit and sidewalls I assembled the fuselage and wing. The cowling and horizontal stabilizers are installed temporarily for the photo. I should be able to prime everything during the morning coffee ritual and then apply the lower camouflage grey.

I have to complete catapult first :)) Not an aircraft so I did not take much attention and images, just complete it.

THE EGG IS FINISHED !!!

Well, I've examinated the situation: very few engraved lines; large enough to be visible without an oil wash; and the decals that are partially occulting those lines... So I decided to bypass that phase. I decided also not to weather too much the plane: it's an egg before to be a real plane and in such a case I find more sympathic a nice paint than a weatehered one.

So, I've airbrushed matt varnish and I finished the plane with Tamiya pastels.

To remove the Tamiya tape out of the canopy takes a lot of time...

I like the final result. It was a funny build, really funny and a good derivative to more serious builds.

Nice funny piece of the shelf, although you've put an effort as you were building the "real" model :-ok
