Ok, so I am building a 1/48 scale B-29 "Enola Gay". I pulled an all-nighter last night to make up for time i spent doing other things. I was spraying down the fuselage last night, and not really sure how this happened, but I somehow ended up getting a little overspray on the front clear plastic windscreen. I didn't notice this until today so I can't just wipe it off. I know using acetone on such things causes them to melt, and using paint thinner will fog up the windows. Does anyone know of anyway to get overspray off these pieces without melting them or fogging them up? Any help would be appreciated.
 
A very easy way is to use goo be gone on a small micro brush or small q tip. Simply rub on the paint and it will rub right off with out damage to frames. Welcome aboard!
 
Toothpaste works well,or if you can get it Jewellers rouge which is a super fine abrasive.

If you do get any scratches or fogging, a coat of that favourite product on here - Future or Klear (Both same product) - made by Johnsons, will soon sort that out for you.

Having tried it myself as a result of suggestions on here, it does work !!

Regards........Mark.
