Yep, easy peel off... as long as it's not years before I remove them lol after a while, vinyl goes dry and brittle and can be a real PITA to get off. also, it will leave residue and the paint under it will be protected so it will be better than the non vinyled areas. so in simple terms... as long as i remove it within a few months, all good. I plan to run this til after new years, then remove.. maybe do a new design every few months.

I can see why people think Kustom Vinyls is a wrap business instead of sustom decal scale model job instead. So it might pay to add that on the side after all.
glad i'm not the only 1 thinking that :)

Havent dug right into yet but looks like a super nice kit drool except for the windsheild frame :(

Have heard of others being worse with frame cracked clean through the top and snapped of at the bottom posts

All it needs a tree supporting the windshield frame, a cardboard support put inside the windshield frame or packed different. pullinghair

Anyways not much of a convertible fan, so im not pissed off like i normally would be. So il bend it back and suss things out and for a donor roof. Ive seen a dude that fitted an AMT 51 Chevy Belair roof and it looks the part. thinking I got a 57 Belair door slammer roof.

That’s disappointing and once complains went online you’d think Revell would correct how it’s boxed.

Im guessing here, but id say alot if not most of the first shipment would all have issues with windshield damage due to packaging.
And being that so many customers have sent requests for a new body, you would assume Revell would sort the issue out quick smart before the next shipment leaves China.

Tinkered around a bit more and il say it again, super nice kit with some sweet parts.
The wheels are magnificent.
