Strong spirits can dissolve your CA glue.
Humbrol enamel thinner may be too strong as well, though I don't use Humbrol products other than their poly cement, so I can't say for sure.
Thanks Coen. Much appreciated

This is fantastic Coen! I have yet to build my first AFV or armor of any kind. I have purchased a few kits, but have not started them yet. This is a wonderful tutorial, and as I've seen other say, for ALL modelers of any skill level.

I hate Photobucket!
It has utterly destroyed many good forum threads.

Yes indeed.
That change from free photo hosting has killed forums as well as Fb and Instagram and their instant gratification
We are trying to revamp ISM forum as it has much bad blood history with some former leaders who are long gone and no longer involved here but the history keeps many former participants, like Cohen here, from even considering coming back.
It may need a complete name change/ overhaul and under new management signage.
