Removing decals
Discussion
Nail varnish remover on a cotton bud. Have frequently used it to get the markings off Corgi airxraft when I wanted to redecal them in different markings. Take your time and don't rub too hard - I found it left some paint colours unharmed but tried to remove others. On a Britannia for example the white fuselage top was left mainly intact but all the silver came straight off; this was easy to mask and respray. Where a little of the white came off I just touched it back in with a small brush.
Waterslide decals are much easier than tampo printing - just dump the whole thig in warm soapy water for about half an hour (not too hot if there are plastic parts!). If you are just taking one or two decals off - race numbers or driver's name for example - then it will take a bit more time and a small brush. Decal softening solution helps too.
