Stripping

Matchbox makes a little airplane that is similar to a WWII German experimental fighter proposal.  

I took them apart and stripped off the paint.

Wings.

Engine.

I am also working on stripping some other vehicles.

The plastic is sometimes damaged by paint strippers and so vehicles get taken apart.

Here are parts soaking in purple power to remove the paint.  Sometimes it takes a few day for the paint to be removed.  I don't hurry and let the chemicals do the work. I remove the vehicles and I drain off the top of the purple power, and toss out the dregs.  It can be reused many times.
