Steven Van DyckThe varnish also contains thinner, this reacted with the enamel base paint. Use an acrylic varnish to separate the base layer and the topcoat. I use P+ from Pledge to prepare for decals, it's acrylic and very diluted.

Ferenc SarkaThank you for your advice Steven, i will try acrilyc next time. I try remove the painting, but am not optimistic. I have to clear all the panel lines. Maybe i buy another kit. The price of two bottle paint remover nearly the same as a new kit.

Steven Van DyckBut hadn't you installed the PE parts yet? Can't you retrieve the fuselage?

Christian MundtDid this only happen at the elevators? Then maybe you could try to remove the elevators and strip the paint with oven cleaner spray?

Ferenc SarkaSteven and Christian, unfortunatelly not only at the elevators. The under side of the wings and the fuselage too. I will try how works the oven cleaner. Thanks for your advice.

Łukasz GlińskiRespect mate for that cleaning effort, I didn;t have a courage (yet) to wash the complete model this way 👍

Ferenc SarkaThanks for every one. I am fan of Jolly Rogers since the movie Final Countdown. I plan to build the F-4 version too. Happy modelling
