Not sure if it's available over there, but there are plastic-specific paint strippers out there (regular stripper will melt plastic). As for repainting, my usual tactic is to give the model an undercoat of Citadel Minatures spray - they offer white and black, so white for light colours and black for darker ones. I then use Tamiya aerosols as they're the closest matches that I can get hold of and adhere really well to the undercoat. <br /> <br />I've only tried an airbrush once with pretty mediocre results, which I think were probably due to not thinning the paint properly - I had clogging and blotchy spray patterns. It seems that getting the paint properly thinned is the secret to airbrushing regardless of whether you're using acrylics or enamels. <br /> <br />Hope this is of help!
