Any here us it? I'm thinking of try to use it on a 1/32 P-51D model I have. From what I have seen it really makes a great looking model.

I never completed the model and I started to strip off some of the old paint, I figured out paint thinner is not the best choice of strippers to use on plastic.

I tried it on a 1/32 P-38. Works well, but is time consuming.

I've only used it for small applications, Tim - window frames, engine intake leading edges, etc., never on a whole bird, but I like it for what I have used it. It looks sharp! 8)
