the model was taken out of the degreaser mixture 24 hours later, althought the metallic paint turned matt black and it didnt peel off that easely as with other paints and didnt come off that well. but then, i had an idea, i took home a length of sanding cotton from work (no one's gonna notice its missing) as its not that aggressive as sandpaper. it took a little more effort and patiance, but it did have the result i wanted, the paint came off without loss of detail or scratches from sanding.
however, i hit a big setback, during the removal of the parts prior to sanding, the props broke and are damaged beyond repair, so now i will have to find a pair of replacement 4-blade propellors. in worst case, i will have to try scratchbuilding a set.
