About 80% to 90% of the paint was remove in about one hour with some intense scrubbing with an old toothbrush.

Working with Testor ELO was simular to working with brake fluid.  It is oily and has a chemical smell to it( i had a ceiling fan running while i worked).

I recommend using rubber gloves.  It can get very messy and it is easier to hold on to your minis.

Test successful.

Edit: what little time i had the mini soaking in Testor ELO had little to no effect in any super glue parts. (the antenna was still held in place with zap a gap ca glue my preferred glue of the time).
