Hiya Rhett:
Please kindly check yer discuss list schedule. We are not scheduled
to repeat this topic until October so it is a little too early to
discuss this topic. <VBG> Just having a little fun here. LOL
Rhett if you search the archives, you will see several suggestions.
I have had tremendous success with 91% rubbing alcohol on S-Helper
cars and engine shells. Let the part soak overnight and the paint
peels off with the aid of an old tooth brush. BTW, in an old
message, Ed L gives some great advice about not using your spouse's
toothbrush. Thanks Ed.
Yes, S-Helper sells undecorated engines & cars, but they do sell out
early in some models. Check with S-Helper for availability.
Please post your work. It would be a nice break to see and talk
about some nice S scale modeling on this list. <VBG>
Cheers,
John Gibson
