The Very Last one: Ford Custom Kustom

Nice save, Tullio.

The acetone-water trick is interesting; I'll have to try that on some scrap before putting anything of value in it, but if it'll be safe for the crummy plastic Revell's using now, it might well be for other material, too.

That's what I did Charlie.

Learned this trick from my friend Bill, a old school master modeler I knew at another forum. He is being using this method to strip bodies since forever.

I think it depends on how pure the acetone is.

I got to the proportion I said after some testing with the acetone I have here. The original proportions Bill had was one liter of water to 250 ml of acetone, but I regulated mine adding more water, and them a little more acetone until it was just right.

The advantages over brake fluid are huge.

It works fast, even on old black paint, and it won't make the plastic brittle like Pine Sol if you let a body in it for too long. Also, the body gets out of it without any contaminant that will prevent paint from sticking, as both the water and the acetone will evaporate completely.
