Removing Old MPC Decals from Engines

you might try MICRO SOL by MICROSCALE,it will soften the decal....good luck,joe

Thanks Joe!!

Beware of those NOS decals.  After all this time, they may be very brittle.  You might consider covering them with a layer of decal film before trying to use them.

What palallin said...those old decals will be brittle.....I think there’s a spray you can shoot over top of them lightly that will help hold them together .....otherwise they’ll shatter like glass when you go to apply them..water slide decals don’t always have a good shelf life.....before you go buying waterslide decals from the 70’s contact Jim @ Highball Graphics, I’m sure he could duplicate to a tee those original nose decals ...on fresh film...😉

I use DullCoat spray to coat the decal. 1 or 2 passes should work.

Thanks for the advise everyone! I also bought a set from Ebay from the underground railroad shoppe, he has been reproducing decals for years, I might try those first. 

@ZWPOWER13 underground railroad shoppe,

They’re good folks, I’ve bought from them many times....never had a problem with them...
