Well going by some comments made in another post regarding the quality of WSI models, on this forum, and going by my own experience, you don`t have too much to worry about, bits tend to just fall off WSI models anyway.  Ray...

Ray... Thanks but it is not the answer I was looking for. I am more looking for the answer for taking the parts of carefully for the repaint.

WSI models are a real pain to take apart.
All these parts are glued on the model.You will probably find a small hole behind every of them.Try and get acess from the inside of the cab.Take a very small screwdriver and try to push them out.
Do not try and pull from the outside.
This is how I did on my WSI repaints.
Maybe acetone would be a solution to get the parts off.But I don´t know wether it will react with the plastic parts,too.

Jan Acetone will eat most plastic parts, though maybe CA Debonder would be a better option: Zap Debonder

I will start saying i have not tried myself but in another forum, for 1/64 trucks, people were repainting DCP transtars, and getting parts off was a pain ......The soultion putting them in the freezer and then pulling them out and letting the contractiing and expanding break the glue loose. Just an idea i have heard of, Chris
