Good old TA02 would be my choice

Normally rarer and more expensive than its own weight in real gold id expect!!

Must admit, im getting a little bit jealous of the all the recent photos showing nice warm weather and bright blues skys. Aside from one or too days its been continually utter gash here for about six months now. Ones even got wild west style cactuses in it.

Never seen one of these before! You planing on building painting it and putting it on a chassis? -
My first thought was Thunderdome but your suggestion has less bloodshed so probably safer.

Help, Oops. Remove paint from Frog Body
Superluminal replied to broomhandle's topic in Re-Release Discussions
Yes that Tamiya body cleaner does work really well, however it is very (very) labour intensive. Apply a dab of it to some kitchen paper and rub it on the paint. And then some rub some more. And dab and rub some more. After about half hour you will have removed a patch of paint about the size of a penny. I stripped an entire shell a couple of years ago with it - it was a couple of years ago because thats how long it took to finish it. But, it doesnt damage or discolour the lexan like some paint removers do which can leave micro cracks and make the shell brittle or yellow it. Ive also used Revell paint remover previously which was easier to get in the UK than the Tamiya one and which worked exactly the same (it certainly smells exactly same) Sadly when I was in HobbyCraft a couple of weeks ago I noticed there was a "new formula" sticker on some of the bottles. I assume it now wont work. Like anything that gets reformulated, it probably used to contain a solvant that was great at removing paint but might have given a passing sparrow asthma which has now been replaced with water or something else utterly useless at removing paint (im talking about you Nitromors) -
I tried something similar several years ago. Theres still red paint on the carpet behind the tv in the living room today. That paint dust travels everywhere.

TT-02. Why this screw is different?
Superluminal replied to skom25's topic in Build Tips and Techniques
Its probably got a bigger head than a regular jis screw to stop it pulling through or deforming the plastic cone. Use a machine screw with a m3 washer, should be fine. -
Id be more than happy to order you a set over here and post them to you. I recall you were in Norway right? Royal Mail postage to there for a small parcel under 2kg would only be a couple of pounds. All in posted with tracking should be less than £30/400NK
