I picked up my bottle of Asda cheapie non-acetone nail varnish, a pack of cotton wool, and rubbed the upper hull. The original camo started to appear, so I went over the whole thing. The grey came straight off. Great!

Best paint remover on the planet and as cheap as chips. Nail varnish remover for plastic nails, it doesn't contain acetone so it won't damage the plastic. It shifts paint incredibly well, I used it on a clear Lexan rock crawler bodyshell, which had two coats on both the inside and outside, it took the whole lot off. Just gentle wiping with cotton wool. :clap:
