Any thoughts on getting bad creases out of decals ( already applied to a Tank )
did think of a scalpel & maybe a bit of gentle heat
Failing that cutting out the creased part & replacing just that bit
Any Thoughts
Cheers

Cut and shut will look like a dogs dinner Unless they only just fitted only way is to remove completely and start again with new. Better still go to somewhere like Image Works who supply and fit. It's a lot harder to do well than people think.

Its hard to put right once done, but your best hope is to use a heat gun and warm it up, then peel back to the crease, then heat that bit of the decal you just peeled back to hopefully return the memory of the decal, then stick it back down, this is not easy, and you can destroy the decal trying, too much or not enough heat, but if you have nothing to loose as in this case I would give it a go.

As above, a bit of heat will/should make them shrink a little. Too much and they will disappear into a shrivelled mess  |

I've only done an f2 tank once
Was a right bitch. Did them with soapy water and they took a LOT of manipulation
