Razor Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 As this is my first post, please bear with me! I have two 1/48 scale Valks, with almost no stickers applied. I started on the VF-1S, and happened across this forum. Because of the overwhelming preference to Takatoys aftermarket stickers by other site users, I've just ordered 2 sets of the stickers. Now, my problem! I have already applied some of the Yamato stickers, and I'm wondering, will it be difficult to remove them without marking the fuselage? They have been on the Valk for about 3 months now! Plus, as you have to cut out the Takatoys versions, should I purchase a circle template for cutting out the Macross roundels, or will a compass/dividers do? Many thanks!

Also remember to use tweezers to remove stickers from the sheet and applying them your valkyries.
Chowser Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 i use very, very diluted rubbing alcohol on a q-tip if i needed to remove some sticky residue from an old sticker.
takatoys Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 Isopropilic alcohol is the best if you want to remove sticky residue. It does not damage plastic. Just be carefull, very flammable.
Hurin Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 You might also consider using a set of smaller-sized scissors to cut out the round emblems. I find that with a little patience and care, I can get 'em perfect and it's easier to cut one continuous circle with scissors than it is with a hobby (xacto) blade. H
