sundance Posted February 17, 2020 Share #3 Posted February 17, 2020 Now, all you have to do is find Tyson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-59A Posted February 17, 2020 Share #4 Posted February 17, 2020 Not sure what to say about it. 1st) It looks like a lid was never worn on it as the paint shows no indication of rubs or scrapes. 2nd) the National colors are of the post war type. Beyond that...I can't wait to read what others say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1canpara Posted February 17, 2020 Share #5 Posted February 17, 2020 I expect that’s why it looks like he joined the airforce! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gap Posted February 19, 2020 Share #12 Posted February 19, 2020 Id strip it and repaint. Testors olive drab spray paint is a great match. You will likely need 2 cans as it comes in 3 ounce cans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BILL THE PATCH Posted February 19, 2020 Share #13 Posted February 19, 2020 It might come off easy without to much damage, worth a try. Sent from my moto g(7) play using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderBounds Posted February 20, 2020 Share #14 Posted February 20, 2020 Try something light like alcohol or goo gone instead of a full blown paint stripper. I'd Try and preserve as much of the original paint as possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtdorango Posted February 20, 2020 Share #15 Posted February 20, 2020 Chances are they might have used a acrylic or weaker hobby paint and hopefully it will come off easier??....mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
