Winter time model building thread.

Hey D. Cluley, what did you use to strip the paint off that Chrysler? I have used brake clean, oven cleaner, and simple green with varying results. Never seen that Chrysler kit before, is it a Johan?


I have used brake fluid with some success (it can make the plastic more brittle) but I think I used "scalecoat" paint stripper on this one.

If you have a Hobby shop that carries trains they should be able to get it. Or direct from walthers http://www.walthers.com/exec/search?quick=scalecoat+stripper

Yes, It's a Johan. Among other things, they did the 65-68 300's. Each year they updated the tooling to match the new model, so 65-67 where each only available one year. The '68 has been reissued over the years so it's much more common.
