Title: Stickers for 2011 Sky Striker
Post by: Colonel Abernathy on August 19, 2011, 04:32:44 PM

I just picked up the Sky Striker (US version) from my local comic shop and it's just as awesome as I remember it from the 2011 CJC. I've been waiting 28 years for one ever since seeing the original in a friend's basement back in Grade 3  :D

I have a question regarding the stickers. I think the bottom of the cockpit section has a bit of the oil used in the factory to slip from the mold left on it. The stickers are not staying in place so how do I remove the oil? I seem to recall reading that washing it with Palmolive will work. Will natural phosphate-free dish soap work as well?

Any help is appreciated!

Ive used dishwashing soap, and hand soaps and both have worked fine for me.

Ok so I just wash off the oil like I'm washing a plate or cup?

just remember to be careful and let it dry before applying the stickers.

my question is where do the #11 stickers go?  I'm assuming on the landing gear panels or am I just missing them?

I tried hand soap but the stickers are still sliding around on the fuselage. Is Palmolive the only way to go (what with its 'grease cutting' power and all  ;D) ?
