All may not be lost L. I just looked at my bottle of Micro Set and it's got instructions telling you how to remove decals with it. I've never done it but it might be worth a try? Probably take a left over decal and put it on something you don't care about, let it set and give it a try, maybe  |

Luigi thanks buddy,going to give it my best shot and be very careful. Thom thank you. Jeff thanks for the suggestion on the Micro Set .I'll have to give it a try and see if it works. |

Make SURE you do it on something you don't care about FIRST |

Leon if you haven't gotten the decal off sometimes using scotch tape to pull the decal off will work. Rub a piece onto the decal and then give it a pull, this has worked for me in the past on some airplane models and did not effect the paint as long as I had a good clear coat between the color and the decal.
Cheers,
Thom
