Graupner Southampton decals - hints?
« on: August 31, 2007, 10:22:36 pm »

Hiya all,

End of the month - pay day!

Thinking of getting one of these RTR boats but would like to know - will the name decals come off? I don't plan to keep her as original once I have had a bash and looked at mods - but I am a bit concerned about the names. Will they come off and if so, how to do it with minimum fuss and damage?

Something like this chap did with his.........(paint wise at least)

They are no decals, they are printed. Only option is to rubb them off but then it needs new paint. Maybe on the wheelhouse you can try some terpentine, the styrene seems to be colored and not painted, maybe the printed "decals" will come off easy  :-\
