Interesting project. Following.
The Hungarian post must have a lot of trust in the people passing by on the street 🙁

I remember doing this dark green Esci Corsair some 30 years ago, covering it in thick enamel which peeled off like tape hehe... Looking forward to see yours reborn 👍

Nice work. Did you use some chemicals to remove the old paint or did you just peel it?

Nikola, i was lucky i could peel off the old colour. I made thick layers 30+ years ago. Thank for your for encouraging words.

Album info
This old kit was made almost 30 years ago. I painted with enamel paint borrowed from my grandfather. He painted the fence at his holiday home with this. Fortunately it can be removed easily. The canopy is broken. I orded a spare part from italeri (thanks for them) to repace that.
