Viper15 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 (edited) Looking good, and you did well to get the new canopy, I have three of the twin seat 1/48 EF-2000 kits, one of the canopies is an absolute mess. I emailed them and they wanted me to pay almost as much as the kit had cost me. Maybe I got them on a bad day? The kit is in the loft, I'd forgotten about it tbh until I saw this thread.

Ozzy Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 May not be much of a consolation tamiya do a clear blue, I used it on my 1/48 Lynx. Hope you can get it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simmerit Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I've had a disaster!!! Ive totally got the tinting wrong... In the following you'll understand why.... What I think I'd done was to add too many layers of the blue, the clear cote can only clear-up so much. GUTTED!! Not much I can do now as Aqua Gloss is hard as nails. I guess cellulose thinner would remove the Aqua Gloss but it would also remove the canopy..... Can you take it apart? Detol mate. Its shifts everything. Give it go 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMouthStrikesAgain Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Try Mr.Muscle Oven Cleaner to take the paint off. Leave the masking etc on and it shouldn't remove the underneath if you're careful. Spray the oven cleaner into a cup, then brush it on the offending canopy, wait a while then wash it off with clean water. As you scrub the paint it should come off nice n easy HTH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inverted Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Windolene or anything with a hint of ammonia in it will lift the aqua gloss and Vallejo. It's pretty much just Klear floor polish anyway. I always tint on the inside using thin Tamiya clear paints. That way you are left with a glossy external finish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F4u Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) Yeah Tamiya clear paints for me too and as Inverted said on the inside, Windolene was the glass cleaner ! I was trying to think of its name !! Guy Edit Got a spare anti torque pedal I just lost one Edited February 22, 2016 by F4u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joesdad Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 Windolene eh?? Would that cut through Aqua Gloss? Really? I'll pick some up and give it ago...... Stand by.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gremlin56 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Before using anything else try a cotton bud dipped in methylated spirits. It will easily remove acrylic paint and because the Alclad lacquer is on top of the acrylic paint that should come off too. My favourite paint remover.
