I missed last night a complete Marui Coors melling TBird. Not too expensive

Bugger, I have a Samurai, but I would any love Marui, especially the Thunderbird and Shogun

I had a coors a lot of time ago and I sold it. REGRETS!!!!!!

I just decided not to buy a very nice looking mint build Marui Toyota

Why? the chassis is very fun. Ultra simple but tiny

Want to reduce my collection and do more actual driving.

NO!!! The owner called me this morning and I did the deal


The body is dead. It had a big one during the Daytona 500
And a front outer diff is broken. If somebody has one I am very interested. It is the sme as the shogun.

I missed out on a hardly run Super Astute less body shell and wing in amazing condition on e bay

Followed a suggestion from a member on TC on how to remove paint off of vintage plastic bodies............... the advice cost me a World Engines Rockbuster body

Removing paint from plastic material is difficult.
The first problem is figuring out what kind of plastic you have. On newer stuff it's stamped, but vintage plastic has no material marking.
The second problem is finding something that chemically reacts with the paint, but not with the plastic. You usually don't know what paint you have to remove.
Paint and plastic are in many cases chemical relatives, they both include polymers. So, you're in risk of damaging both with your removal chemicals.

So removing paint from plastics are in most cases a trial and error thing, unless you know the ingredients in all three components, and you are a chemical engineer specialising in polymers....

Reading the label of the chemicals you plan to use is sometimes the best, and only, thing you can do. (except from listening to "web-experts" with quick solutions, of course )
