brake fluid just became your friend then, since it will strip dry tamiya lacquer without a problem
NOTE: brake fluid, not cleaner

Just leave the model in a container with enough brake fluid to cover the model for a couple of days and the paint should dissolve away.

thanks for the help.
never bought any brake fluid before, is there a brand that everyone uses?
gonna head over to walmart to see if they have any

I jsut use the cheap Dot3 stuff they have there that is in a black bottle, you are only stripping paint with it, so I don't think it matters too much what it is.

BRAKE fluid all the way, it comes off in like 1 hour!!.. u can buy it really cheap also, maybe 2 bucks.. and u can re use it, other than CSC

what's CSC? i can re-use the brake fluid even if its all mixed with the paint that came off?

CSC is castrol super clean degreaser, it is stronger than brake fluid, but it takes a lot longer to strip of lacquer paint.
You can re-use brake fluid, but it tends to lose its effectiveness the more you use it.

CSC = Castrol Super Cleaner Degreaser!

little OT, I was looking through where my mom keeps out cleaner and I saw CSC and I got all excited and then realized it was a hand cleaner :( So make sure you get the degreaser
