Re: new member, first project completed...comments/advice welcome!

It looks very good for your first model.You should be proud of what you have achieved on it.Certainly a lot better than my first attempt for sure.If you feel the need to strip back the paint on your future builds if you make a mistake with the painting I would recommend Isopropyl Alcohol (available at most hardware stores or chemists shops) Leave the parts you want to strip in a bath of the stuff for a couple of hours and it softens the paint.You can then remove it with a scrub from an old toothbrush and start the painting again.The good thing with it is it does no harm to the kit plastic.You can also use brake fluid,but I find it makes the plastic brittle in some cases.
