The paint on this car was especially thick, obscuring the details. I figured I would have an easier time removing unwanted details if I stripped the paint first. I put all the parts in a zipper bag with a little bit of 90% rubbing alcohol, sealed it up, and came back the next morning. The paint was all gone!
Did I mention there is a lot of flash on this car? I have seen better quality on dollar-store cake decorations. This is low quality, even for made in china. I have begun removing flash and crude details, and have done some filing to make the pieces fit together a little better. More pictures to come...
