Fixed Bale M-1 Helmet

[Sgt. Rock]

All:

 

I have a US fixed bail helmet with Captain's bars that look like they were applied with Testors model paint and done by a child. Any thoughts on how to safely remove them?

 

Take care,

Boy, that model glue can pull paint off of metal so be careful. I might try softening up the glue with a mild solvent that you know won't harm the original OD paint. I may sound like a broken record when it comes to using a product called "Goof-Off" but, I do know that it's safe to use on original factory OD finishes and it is a solvent that should soften the glue. I've never tried this so, take this only as a possibility. Someone else may chime in with a better idea.

Thank you. Successful results were obtained and no OD was harmed in the making of the finished product.

Goof-off seems to work great on glue as well. A couple weeks back i had the same problem. Goof-off is a sure bet
