lighter fluid will allow you to remove the halves wing and tail. CA remover will take off the decals and isopropyl alcohol allowed to soak will remove most of the paint. I made the cowl panels and hatches out of paper. The paints are acrylic. Thw wings are Testors Nort Atlantic Purple and Tamiya green. I still need to paint the pilot and put in a dash board. Abu, this is the Flyzone (79.95) 14.5" Albi where as the previous were 12" scratch built. We had to enlarge them slightly for production to reduce the wing loading as the factory production could not duplicate my weight target. If there is any interest, I can post the paper patterns and decal layout.
