I tried Easy Off many years ago, and didn't like it. Maybe I need to give it another go!

Hadn't thought of that, Carl. I'll give it a try.

If it is enamel, I'd try getting the rest of the paint off with something like Testors Universal Enamel Thinner on a Cotton Bud.

I might give that a try, too, Jeff! Sounds like it should work.

If it doesn't at least it won't hurt the plastic.  |

Well...I've been offered one of those "Why Didn't I Think Of That" tips by Jeff!  Here, I've tried it on the deck lid and the passenger side of the roof. It seems to be working!! Thanks, Jeff-O!! |

And, here is the rest of it:  I'll use the back side of a #11 blade to clean out the panel lines, and then get to the part of attaching the yellow roof to the white body! |

That 'bird looks interesting. Start up a build thread for it, and show us how you save it!
I have an idea it will will turn out great!!

Glad I could help, Buck. Mock up looks cool. Worked like a charm, Jeff! I just gotta make sure I clean it up well before paint! Here's the latest:  I marked the quarter vents to be cut out.  I barely touched it with the Dremel! (HAHA)  Followed by some file work.  I think it looks better with windows than the vents did. |

Most definitely, Buck. Awesome touch, well executed.  |
