is there any way to fix yellowed decals? i just got Tamiya Original Teile CLK-GTR and the decals are all yellow. needless to say, this kit is slightly hard to come by. any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I read about a person with the same problem. He gave the tip in a model magazine to put the decals in a plastic bag and taped this bag to the window, decals towards the sun. After a few days the yellow faded away, caused by the UV-rays.
I never tried it and I have no idea, if it works, but it could be worth a test.

Cool avatart disomma :)
Sunbath could help, not ever, not with all colors, good to me with white yellowed. I guess sun lighten all color, so be careful.

Sun is great on white that has yellowed which is normally the case. I do exactly the same as described, place in a Zip Loc bag and tape to the inside of the sunnies window for 1-2 days.

Hi,
nevertheless, like the other members mentioned, watch very well that the sun won´t harm the other colours
