I have found that using oven cleaner (EZ-Off brand) works very well for
removing acrylic paint, but without damaging the plastic or the glue. Just
spray on heavily, let soak for a while, and then scrub with an old
toothbrush. Might take a couple of applications. Not sure how to undo the
glue.

> I have a lot of old Esci kits(52) from 20 to 30 years ago that I would
like to "redo" into a more realistic model.(childhood models some-how don't
seem to cut it) I was told to soak them in a solution of caustic soda and
water to remove the paint and weaken the glue.Does this work, or is there
other ways to rebirth old kits?..thanks
