Got some issues with a BBI F16 wolfpack.
Landing gear tires and exhaust nozzle are sticky just like I 've removed some stickers and bit of sticker glue still remains on the parts.
Everbody got the same Problems? Is this a chem. reaction on the plastic/ Rubber parts depending 8n time and dust???
Is there a better solution like washing with water and soap or alcohol or something else???
Thank you for helping.

I had the same problem with a BBI F-16 I bought years ago. I used a teaspoon of baking soda mixed with water until it formed a paste. Using my finger I rubbed it in circular motions on the problem areas. I cleaned it off with water and a soft cloth. I read about this problem and its solution back then. According to what the article said this happens with certain soft plastics as they breakdown over time. Hope this helps.
