Had some decals curl up the wrong way under the influence of MicroSol
and I need to remove them. Any suggestions on how to remove decals
without removing the (Tamiya acrylic) paint underneath?

Thanks in advance,

Martin

Put some tape on them and use that to try to lift them off. Don't
be too aggressive as this could pull up paint too, especially acrylics
that haven't bonded well.
