Thought i would ask the experts about safely removing decals from BBR models without damage to the paint? Use water?
I know this sounds a bit strange and some of you may be asking, "why would i want to do this?" There is one of my BBR models, that i have, that has a decal that is coming off (halfway off). I want to remove it safely without tearing it and attach it back again. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If decals are not covered with clear lacquer, it should be easy.
I use warm water with a little vinegar and a cotton swap.
Place the swap into the warm water and slightly placing the wet swap on the decal to soak it.
It won’t take long and the decal comes off!

You can use water on a little Toilettpaper just but it over the Decal or you use Mr. Marker Softer from Gunze Sangyo.

I get this 340 MM from BBR to Restor it from a Friend.





And here "Ready to Race!"
