Here is a pic of my half completed Hallam combat wing (PAW 19 TBR) and two well used wings bought secondhand an Ironmonger (Russian Oliver Tiger) and a Jaguar (MVVS 2.5).

Any ideas how I can clean them up a bit?

Could you try some grease dissolving gunge, like kitchin cleaner? Otherwise I saw someone mention a US product for degreasing models prior to repairs. Something like Acetone or carbon tetracloride might be a very vicious way of degreasing it, but it might also be a great way of melting the nylon.

Hi Tony,

there are one or two proprietary brands of model degreasers that you can buy. Nicely scented too!

You ould always try a meths soaked rag to de-goo them. I wipe my Warloard down with meths at the end of a session and it seems to do the job.

Nice models.
