Hi Fellas, I am working on an R35 GTR kit from tamiya. Heres some pics. Also, how do you strip paint off as I want to do the body, bonnet etc again as the paint is good in some sections and crap in others, plus I dropped the body whilst it was drying and wrecked some of the paint that way also Evil or Very Mad ? Oh well. Cheers Ben

how to strip the oaint will vary based on a number of things eg what type of paint, my opinion is to sand back and paint again rather than strip but each to his own

Hi, the paints are tamiya spray cans.

I use a product called ELO made by Testors which I got from my local hobby shop. This works very well for stripping Tamiya paint.

Hi ya, Benny. I use a product called 'Easy Off' oven cleaner here. No idea what it's called down under. Never used it with Tamiya paint either but it's worked great on everything else I've used it on. Sweet lookin' detail on the interior. Merry Christmas.Bill
