Mantua Mitika

[irishjohn]

looking for a body and decal sheet for a 1992 mantua mitika i'm rsetoring. already tried mantua model uk and they can supply the other few parts i need but i they have no stock on bodies. tried romoving the paint with brake fluid but 20+ yr old paint is hard to remove. thanks

Did you paint the body yourself? Did you use Pactra? If you used Pactra you'd be better of trying with a flamethrower or something similar, that paint is super tough. If you used Tamiya or similar spray paint you can leave the body submerged overnight, even several days until it softens the paint. I've done it, it works.
