I’ve been searching the web. does anyone know where to find a new or used life-like gp38 shell. and does anyone know the best way to remove factory paint without melting the model???
You might find a few tips/answers on this thread:

Go to ebay. If your not set up, then get set up. It’s a free registration. Look up HO SHELL or GP38 SHELL or Porto SHELL.
To Strip, Use Pine sol. Absoulutly same. Just soak the shell in a bugcket that you don’t plan on using for food or anything that’s to good house hold use. It only takes 20 -30 mins for your model to strip. DO NOT LEAVE OVER NIGHT.
A Train did you mean proto shell???
