Rod -Today I found that MEK (methyl ethyl ketone, Butanone) works well to clean the black melted tire goop off the kit parts. It comes off real quick, but I wouldn't want to leave parts in the solvent for longer than needed. MEK is evil stuff. Do not use indoors, the fumes are so much worse than acetone or thinners.

Rod -Yeah, I want to. It's an awful kit though. The body on mine is distorted, roof all out of shape. Hopefully it will straighten up ok. The steering wheel and a couple of other small bits are ruined from sitting in the tire goop. One wheel is swollen and out of shape. I might try and get a set of "the parts box" wheels.
I've never tried weathering a kit before. I think this one might come up ok if I try to give it the outback look.
I just scored an aoshima kit from ebay, so I'm very excited about building that one 🙂
