LanceR21 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Hi there, A friend of mine gave me this Hasegawa F-104G in 1/48 scale which was previously built and painted completely. He was trying to do a restoration project, paint was striped and some parts were ripped, like this ejection seat. One part is still in the cockpit, glued with some kind of glue. To me, it looks like an industrial, yellow one. I tried WD40 and Mr. Muscolo ( European chemical for cleaning ovens, used in modeling for paint strip, great stuff ! ) and still nothing. Is my only solution to cut the fuselage in half ( I'll make the cut where the seat part is ) and reattach it with knife or you have some other, less destructive idea ? I really don't want to cut this kit. Thanks ! Cheers, Nenad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stefan buysse Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Hi, To take apart plastic pieces that have been glued with normal modelling glue, it is possible to freeze them deeply and when you take them out of the freezer, they come apart quite easily. I have no idea if it would work with the industrial stuff on this model, but it's worth a try. Cheers, Stefan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
