I tried many solutions, and settled with EASY OFF as the easiest and quickest. Apply it as specified, wait a few
minutes, and go at the kit with an old tootbrush under running water. Be careful not to splatter yourself -- EASY OFF
burns!
If some paint remains in nooks or crannies, just try a new application, and wait a little longer. I've used it for
plastic kits and also for resin figures, with no harmful effects.
Good luck!
