Evening all,
At the moment, I'm refurb'ing and detailing '00' Stanier Princess 'Lady Patricia', as produced some years ago by Hornby in BR express blue as 46210. Before I put her all back together, I intend to repaint her in LMS crimson lake, with her original designation as 6210.
I want to try and do a proper job with an airbrush, and to max up the detail I'd like to remove the factory finish paint job. Does anyone here have any experience with this, or know what sort of chemicals or processes are suitable? I'm worried that my ideas (turps sub, lighter fluid, abrasives) might damage the plastic.
All feedback welcomed!
Cheers,
Tom
