Hello everyone,

Being new to all this and having purchased the Millennium Falcon I want to practice my painting. I have bought some cheap models and am practicing my brush painting. Now how do I remove the paint? What is the most simple and inexpensive way to remove the paint?

Thanks in advance.

I have used undiluted all purpose cleaner and Mr muscle oven cleaner to remove acrylic paint, left part to soak over night then use a tooth brush to get into the corners

Simple green cleaner works well Roger if you soak the parts overnight in it.If the paint is really thick the oven cleaner works better-just be careful handling it.

I soak mine in 91% Isopropyl Alcohol. Soak them for about an hour. Then I rub the loose paint off and soak for a bit longer. Then I let them dry for 24hrs and then re prime and re paint.
