Have a question for anyone who could help answer. I had done a bunch of detail work on my cockpit when I first started on this kit. I want yo make some changes and I don't want to just paint over what I've done. Is there something that I can use to remove the factory paint as well as the Testors acrylics that I added without it attacking the plastic

I can attest to nail polish remover's effectiveness. One day I made a completely idiotic choice to do a quick gluing of some innocuous part on some model of mine while I had it on our granite counter in the kitchen and because, well, DUH! I ended up getting a nice glop of CA on the granite! I panicked and tried everything I could think of before the wife found out. I was at my wit's end, sweat forming on my forehead when I finally found a website that mentioned nail polish remover. It WORKED! Didn't leave a single trace nor did it hurt the granite at all. Miracle stuff.My YouTube RC videos:

I had already tried the acetone, it worked well on the acrylic paint I added in detailing but the paint that was already on it turned into a sticky goo. It didn't attack the plastic though so with a little elbow grease and a ton of paper towels I eventually got it cleaned. Thanks for the replies.

36 lbs. flying weight. CG was by the book, I left it 1.5 oz. tail heavy ( personal preference ). Battery position: 2 on the bottom tray with 2 on top moved forward 1/2" past 1st set of blind nuts from nosewheel gear. Hope this helps....16 PhotosLast edited by rcairmark; Nov 9, 2022, 06:15 PM.

Wow, congrats rcairmark on the successful maiden and great landing too! I believe that is the first Roban A-10 flight I've seen on video, at least on this site. Smart for doing those mods or it may not have been a success. Here's to many more! Cheers!My YouTube RC videos:
