Wrong Decals
Posted by Niccolai46 on Thursday, September 19, 2013 1:17 PM

Hi model heads!,     

                  I would first like to thank all the awesome feedback that  I got from all of you on the painting of wood grain on my prop. Now onto the next bit of a problem . It would seem that in my haste to get things done due to a lack of time lately, I have placed the wrong period decals on part of the fokker I'm currently building. So my question is this....can I get them off somehow without damaging the clear underneath? Or can I simply just decal over the existing ones? The right ones will cover the wrong ones completely if I can do that.   ANY SUGGESTIONS?

I have a friend who recently removed all the decals from a car project.  I foget what he used, but the main thing was the time. It took almost a week!  So, whatever solution you use, have patience!

I think the best solution is to apply the new decals right over the old ones.  I have done this before and it works fine, as long as they are large enough to cover the old ones.

Gimme a pigfoot, and a bottle of beer...

When I've put decals in the wrong place, I have put a piece of masking tape over the decal, and pulled it up.  It usually takes the whole decal with it.  Good luck.
