Hornby Black Five lining - removal

[Lissadell]

I have a lined out model that I plan to finish in plain black livery.

 

I need to remove the existing lining rather than spray over it and wonder if a member may have done this job successfully on a Hornby Black Five.

 

I am familiar with the various approaches involved in renumbering etc so have read about a variety of tools, substances and methods  that modellers have used.

 

I was really hoping to learn from another member who has successfully removed the lining from boiler, footplate, cabside, tender etc on the Hornby Black Five specifically.

 

Guidance really welcomed - thank you!

Hi,

How old is the black 5. I only ask to see if it is the early one that has the added nameplates. If it is the cab numbers are a peel off sticker.
