REMOVING DECALS.
The majority of models produced for CNC are finished with decals printed on an ALPS printer. The printer ink is wax based and so can be removed from any model by carefully wiping the surface printing of the decal with a tissue moistened with white spirit. When necessary the decal can be removed whole by careful use of a sharp scalpel lifting the edge of the surface of the decal backing adhering to the model. Replacement decals should be applied in the usual way finished with ‘dulcote lacquer’ or matt varnish.
Many ships are part of large flotillas so we try and cater for this by including alternative decals for you and in some cases apply the leading ship decal with three alternatives within the box.
Eg the Holland class is pennanted as Holland but the numbers for the other three are in the box. The Bay Class has no pennant but a choice of 4 inside the box. The Arleigh Burke has some ships pennanted as USS Arleigh Burke and some with transfers included but no pennant.
