I got a few superheavies that EVERYTHING was glued. Turrets dont move at all, and a few things are glued on I dont want them to be. There is no paint on the models at all. How do I remove the glue from the sponsons, turret, etc? If I cant remove the glue, what is the best way to get the parts off so I can magnetize without snapping the plastic?

Checked the faq and found how to strip paint but not glue.

A big thank you in advance!

THANK YOU!

Pastic glue or super glue?

If plastic glue, there are not a whole lot of options, It fuses the parts together. A knife and steady hand might be the only solution.

Superglue I hear gets brittle if frozen. Some time in the freezer and some gentle tapping might work. I have not personally tried this, so YMMV.
