Paint on clear parts


Recommended Posts

Hello group.  I am building the 1/32 Tamiya Spitfire.  I cut out and attached all of the masking before painting the frames on the clear canopy parts.  Of course, being a newbie I guess I was not perfect and paint leaked under the masking and onto the “glass”.  Can someone help with the best way to remove the unwanted paint without damaging the canopy?

Yeah, wooden toothpick is one of the best. I also take a Popsicle stick and carve it into a chisel edge to do the same thing. Either way works fantastic.

Thanks to both for the replies.  This model has been quite a challenge and I want to do it justice as best I can.  It quite often has challenged my patience but its a wonderful model.

I'm with Mark on the popsicle stick carved to a chisel edge.  Another option for the same idea is a wooden coffee stirrer.  They're about the same thickness but considerably narrower.
