What is the model anyway?  The only kit that I knew had bamboo was
something like an Antic.

I think Kurt Z. figired it out It's silkspan and its painted with
Hobby-Poxy. That's why lacquer thinner removes a little of the paint but
does nothing to soften it. Although it does come off the bamboo
rather nicely 

So I guess I'm going to have to use the two 20 year old cuties as Brian
Chan suggested :-))) 

Actually I have a friend who has some 6' long 8 wide sanding belts. I'm
going to glue them to my work table and make one big ass sanding
block...

I am sure a propane torch will do the job

Speaking of torches Brian When are you going to start having tours of your 
garage? 

For those of you who don't know, Brian's Garage-shop is like a modelers fantasy 
come true. Imagine the biggest best hobby shop in the world and then double it 
:-) Electrics, gliders, scale gliders, soon to be mine 1/3scale Sig Spacewalker 
:-) Anything and everything you can imagine and then sum.
