Airfix Typhoon

Thank you for that, but there will be no typhoon from me. At least not right now.

Here's what happened. I used the Mission Models paint but I short cut it, like I have a couple of times and didn't add the poly sealant. When I sprayed the Testers I can only think that the solvent actually pulled up the MMP pigments to the top, didn't really seal it. And when I started adding decals the green color just washed away. Now that was a neat looking effect and it stumped me at the time but thinking about it this afternoon, that had to be the cause.
I know nothing of this "Polly Sealantness". Bartender? White Man Make Crazy Talk! You Rush Chemicals?!?! Loose spektacals?!
Offend Great Spirit. Washte.
 
Leave it to Bob to find the one way to make the paints go poof.
Sorry you had an issue my friend. Been there done that. My old He-51 build from the 80's had some issues with the paint that I didn't like. Decided to strip it. (note it was pretty much assembled at this time)
All I knew to use for stripper was Easy Off Oven cleaner at the time. Yeah the paint came off but the struts for the top wing broke loose as well. It was a disaster. Put it in the box for a number of months (don't remember how long) Then one day I pulled it back out, and went through step by step and it became a prize winner.
