I rarely use enamel anymore so I stand corrected , and excessive use of anything will damage styrene . I squirt some lighter fluid on a soft rag and wipe the tape residue off with just a couple of light swipes . Very quick . . . no damage .
Zippo or Ronsonol Lighter Fluid . It removes any sticky residue immediately , won't damage any paint , and itself leaves no residue to wreak havoc on future painting .
I just happen to have this kit sitting on my bench waiting to get started and despite it's faults I've always liked the J-Car and the IMC kit .
You did a great job on yours , congrats !
Now that is just plain old cool ! I had no idea what you were talking about but then when I saw the first pic a light bulb went off - "Oh yeah I knew that !"
Great job , this is a real winner !
