[Custom] I Swear I Was Only Going to Remove the Flames!

The honorable Klauss Schmoll sent me a Wiessman GT MF4 coupe by Siku. The only issue, it had "interesting" flames interfering with its wonderful black paint job.

Klauss already advised me to take the flames off, and a lot of you have had success with acetone vs. bad tampos, so I decided to give it a try.

I might have gotten impatient when it started smudging, so instead of sticking with it, I just dumped the whole casting in some acetone and just stripped the whole thing.
