I feel your pain Lyle, having to strip down that plane again.. I got faith in you that you'll finally get this completed! Keep plugging away man!

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.

Re: Williams Brothers Curtis C-46 Commando
Thanks, Mark. It simply is getting too much paint on it anyway. IF this stuff works as advertised it should be a breeze.

Re: Williams Brothers Curtis C-46 Commando
Funny you mentioned Stripwell QCS. I just watched a youtube video review not too long ago. For those unfamiliar with this product, here's the video link:LyleW wrote: I have ordered some Stripwell QCS Model Safe finish remover. I think the beast will be going back to bare plastic and a re-do. There are enough flaws that need to be touched up it will be easier to start over. Eager to see how this stuff works.

It's supposedly can remove chrome off sprues too.

That ain’t happening. I spend enough on groceries, gas and this hobby.BlackSheep214 wrote:He's gonna go broke if he keeps putting $5 bills in her G-strings...Stikpusher wrote:Here we go again… admit it Lyle, you just like playing with stripper(s)

Re: Williams Brothers Curtis C-46 Commando
If you spend a lil' more grocery money on beans and cabbage (pretty cheap eatin'!), you'll find an answer to your gas problems as well Lyle. And more money to lay out for the hobby too, eh?
Re: Williams Brothers Curtis C-46 Commando
True, but then I can't stand to be in the same room with me.
