Project Amemiya Restoration

Well about a year ago I bought the Amemiya Greddy 9 and made some progress on it. Well back then I think have mant tools to built it and it came out pretty bad, plus like almost all Fujimi kits the fitment SUCKS!!

Now I'm going to make it look better first but stripping the paint.
PS: Do any of you guys know how to take decals off and reuse them?
Thanks!

Currently as of Apr/15/05

Good luck for your project. For the decals use the Microscale product "Decal remover"...

Re: Project Amemiya Restoration

you won't be able to 'reuse' the decals tho ... you will need to find a replacement sheet of them...

Well I did get to rescue a few decals using water.
Well I might have to make it a street car for the Wangan.

Well I did scrape it off, the brake fluid was not really working because I had to little of it and had a very small container, the brake fluid did loosen the paint and then time to scrape.
