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!

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.

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!
