Decals

[Dirk V]

Hello:

I am building the 917HK. I have to replace one of the decals that I had already applied to the model. What is the best way to do this?  Thanks

It depends, if you used setting solution, it will be almost impossible to lift it without ripping the decal film. If you used only water, you might be able to dunk the model part in water for some time.

Believe it or not, I've never had to remove a decal before!  A couple of suggestions spring to mind.  Try soaking it in water to see if it will lift off.  I wouldn't like to try a solvent in case it damages the paintwork.  Possibly try lifting it off with sticky tape, but be careful you don't lift the paint as well.
