Some time ago I made a Dean Sidings Neath and Brecon Tank loco, which I managed to mess up the spraying of. I finally took the plunge and stripped the resin body, using Phoenix Paint Super Strip. My initial concern was what it might do to the resin, but I need not have worried - it was fine. The only casualty of the stripping was one lamp iron that was easily replaced.
The loco now sports a respray - using aerosol cans this time, Phoenix GWR Green and Halfords Matt black. The result is much more pleasing. The cab detailing still needs some work, and I have not put any transfers on or crew in it yet.
This picture unfortunately shows up some areas where there is not enough paint coverage, but that shouldn't be too hard to fix, probably a brush wash over rather than an other spray coat. Plus it could do with a little weathering. It is amazing how you notice things in close up pictures that you fail to spot when you look at the actual model.
