Default Those damn stickers

How to get those "transparent" (backing) factory stickers from the ARFs without damaging the covering?


?

I've had great results with getting them good & warm with my heat gun (of the type used to shrink the covering) and then carefully peeling them off, then using 90% rubbing alcohol to remove the glue residue.

For instance, here is my Escapade naked, with just my AMA number showing, with all of the factory applied stickers removed using the above method.

Your Welcome.

PS, I'd love to see pics of your nice clean model when you've got all of the stickers off
