>>6070741Sorry anon I went to sleep after our last chat, here is a short video from a pro gundam modeler (won the gundam builders world cup australian region)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYi2BTg33DgIf you want to be safe disassemble the transformer as much as you wish and submerge the parts entirely, that's right, if you can remove the screws and or pins, my pins seem ok but the screws were clearly affected on my skullcruncher, plastic was fine.
Technically clear plastic SHOULD be fine, least on gunpla (was noted by other modelers as a safe method), the worst that can happen with clear plastic is it fogs up in which durability may be compromised, if you wish to avoid breakage (since gunpla plastic may differ from transformers plastic, not that I've seen yet) perhaps leave any clear parts in so you don't risk breakage during re-installation unless you like to repaint them of course.
Mind you, I use a cheap bleach so stripping times will vary, I hear the better brands strip paint quicker.
Also pro tip, no matter the plastic straight up thinner will straight up annilate plastic, one of my gunpla friends thought it was a good idea to use pre-mixed panel liner on bare plastic and while it looks great it crumbled apart from the very panel lines themselves, clear plastic or not thinner WILL fuck up plastic, wanna be safe least put a top coat over it before panel lining use an enamel wash, but otherwise THINNER AND STRAIGHT PLASTIC DON'T MIX EVEN IN REMOVING PAINT.
If you do panel line (after full paint prep) use a cotton swab that's slightly damp with paint thinner and go lightly, provided the sections are top coated in gloss/semi gloss it should survive the process but once paint starts coming off top, repaint, dry, then try again.
>>6070760Its ok anon, the only other solution I can offer is car brake fluid.
...don't do this though for the love of god, people suggest it to me but unlike bleach I don't think you can dunk and forget
