My masking did not work 100 percent. I'm looking for suggestions for cleaning the paint of the windows. These are American Model Builders (AMB) laser cut windows for a SW-1.

All ideas welcome!

Humm....

I guess no one has any experience with this.

Pine-Sol did the job for me.

Paint remover

Try Poly S EASY LIFT OFF paint and decal remover. I've used it many times on clear plastic with great results, no fogging or crazing. Your LHS may carry it, if not Micro Mark does http://www.micromark.com/easy-lift-off-paint-and-decal-remover,7270.html Good luck!

Wonder if EASY LIFT OFF will disappear...

...with Testors discontinuing the Polly Scale product line.  Not a paint I realize but who knows?
