windows from SHS to replace the ones I had to remove, because it's
difficult to save them, but others have different methods.

Roger:
Can you go into more detail on why the paint was difficult to
remove? One of my future projects is to beautify a NW2 with the SP
Tiger strip scheme and I may have to strip paint if I cannot
purchase an undec version.
As I have mentioned on this list, I have had no problems striping
paint off SHS models. For example, I soaked a PRR F7B shell painted
in PRR __________ Brown (you NYC guys can fill in the colorful
adjective of yer choice <LOL>) overnight in 99% Isopropyl Alcohol
and the paint & lettering literally fell off with the aid of an old
tooth brush. I was left with a very clean painting surface.
See you OSW+S!
