Go to the local auto parts store and buy a bottle of "Purple Power" cleaner.Soak the whole kit overnight and then wash off the paint in the morning. Works great, will not harm plastic and will remove enamal paints as well.
The other thing to remember is that no "expert" out there has the right to say what the "correct" colors should be. The field maintenance crews used everything from gasoline to kerosene, mineral spirits, whatever they had to thin the concentrated paints they got from the quartermasters dept. The Luftwaffe was a different story as far as colors go, as they were behind the main line of resistance and had the time and wherewithal to be exacting in the paint dept. The Panzer field maintenance crews were lucky sometimes just to have time to paint, much less stand around and measure consistancies for paint. |
