I can only but second the Dettol advice. It’s superb.

Right, couple of tanks now having a detol bath. It seemed to start working right away. Will give them a good soak overnight.

Incidentally, my mate who travels to Bury for pleasure has an odd habbit of having dettol baths.

Probably wise on his part. I’d suggest a Dettol enema too

The dettol worked well on the resin tank with a bit of scrubbing bit the Rubicon Panzer went in the bin. Too detailed so the paint turned to goop in the crevasses.

You definitely don't want gloop in your crevices...

Oh no. :( that's a real shame. I can't believe it was bad enough to bin it...

You should have hit the panzer with 99% ISO if the dettol wasn't up to it :)

But wasn't the tank only intended for wargaming? Doesn't it just need to look like a Pz from a distance? Don't bin the poor thing.

I never had you down as heartless, TW!
