I'd like to put some of the original tobacco advertising themes on to some of my minichamps models. The replacement kits are available fairly readily, but how would I go about lifting the old ones and fitting the news ones to the same standard as the originals?

Thanks

The model comes as per the main pic. The JPS livery is as per the inlay, so you make a good point, only the helmet transfer needs to be lifted.

Concerned about buggering it up.

Possible to pay a pro?

Man up! get a Brillo pad on it.
£100s worth of models! I'll have a tentative poke at one!

Can't you buy a crappy one off Ebay and experiment with that?
Funny you should say that. I've just been looking for something appropriate!
