Posted by tankerbuilder on Monday, July 25, 2011 4:23 PM

I just got finished looking at my new SQUADRON catalogue and spotted the add for "SMER"and a viking ship.The picture looks like it may be the old AURORA model.Does anyone know?The "stuff " I don,t know about you ,  But , I don,t like to build in 1/700 because it,s to hard on my eyes .I wish they,ed come out with the "SACRAMENTO" class ships in 1/350 . Oh , well,I won,t hold my breath .        tankerbuilder

The SMER Viking ship is an exact clone for my old Aurora kit.

I bought a kit just so I could use parts to restore my original after damage incurred over 40 + years of dusting and moves.

Unfortunately, the decal is no longer the same and I must figure a way of removing the original dragon intact so it can be re-used.

Hey , GOOSE ! How,s it going ? Listen , I am sorry I didn,t get back to this sooner but I use vinegar to remove decals I want to remove and reuse . It has worked for me for years .OH , make sure it is kind of warm so mocrowave it for about ten seconds the bring up the temp of the vinegar a little .Try it .      tankerbuilder
