Thanks for the replies......I don't think I've damaged the monokote, since it peeled off in sections (top. and sides of fuselage in 3 pieces pulled back) Lately I've spent enough money on accessories etc. so I think I'm gona try the re-iron approach using CA if necessary. You were correct about there being a very thin film of wood attached to the monokote, so I may have my work cut out for me.
