Well, the IF hull is going to turn him green until he has a chance to
soak it in a cleaning solution (the eBay seller he won it from has
really nice lots, unfortuanately someone in her household smokes like a
chimney, I usually have to get the packing straight out to the trash to
restore my capability to breathe in my apartment after opening a package
from her).
Lindsay,
Just remember to take the screws out of the bow and stern before soaking
them. Mike Walsh mentions that a diluted solution of Pine-Sol works, and
takes only an hour or so (I wouldn't leave LEGO parts in such a solution
overnight though).
