A while back I was very kindly gifted a box of old Navwar 1/3000th scale American and Japanese models by that most splendid gentleman, Mr David Cook Esq. These were already painted to a decent standard and based on plastic card but they hadn't been prepared prior to painting, so we're covered in flash and seams. 

Yesterday, I thought I'd strip some of them back and clean them up, ready to add to my big box of Davco UDN and IJN shipping for the early war period. Here's the result and I think they came out rather well. Apparently, old-fashioned brown Dettol is the paint stripper of choice these days but I couldn't find any, so bought some non-caustic, fast-acting stuff instead. It seems to have done the trick!
