Hey /tg/.
I have a spaceship model that I painted by hand and it looks okay but a bit messy. These days I do such things with sprays and have wanted to go back it give it a do over. My question is how should I go about removing the paint from this model without killing the detail? It is a plastic kit and it was sprayed with a basecoat before I painted on it. Can you use chemicals or should I just use the spray over the top of it again? I'd be using a Tamiya spray not an airbrush to be clear. Thanks a lot and love your work.

They dont sell that in my country sadly. But say I find an equivalent what do you do with it? Paint it onto the surfaces?

Also i forgot to add the model has decals so I'd like to protect them if possible but if not so be it

What you do with simple green:
>fill container big enough to hold model with it
>place model in simple green bath
>let soak for 24 hrs
>scrape paint off with an old toothbrush
It's seriously that simple. It softens up paint without damaging the plastic.

Yeah looks like dettol is the same thing so that sounds like a winner.

Haha sounds good. Although the model is pretty big so I might need a huge tray of the stuff.

What kind of spaceship kit is it?

How thick is tamiya spray? Unless you painted so thick that it filled in lines I can't imagine it losing too much detail

The Moebius Battlestar Galactica one. It's a great model but deserves a better paint job.

Why, though?
