RE: Sig four star rebuild
Just stripped my 4Star60 kit. Heat gun, mini needle nose pliers and acetone. Be careful when you're tossing the plane over to get at pieces of film - the turtle deck stringers break very easily.
Just thought of a potential issue. Ultracote (my covering) has clear adhesive - the color is in the top material. Monokote has colored adhesive with a clear top material. You will leave color behind with Monokote - clean up with Acetone will be necessary and like not entirely successful.
