You could try taping them to a window (facing out) that gets alot of sun. leave it up there for a week or so, or until you notice a differance.
sometimes this works, if not, im not sure what else to do but find a new set of decals.

Scan the decals. Reprint decals on new decal paper. (this assumes you have the right equipment).

Don't know any way to un-yellow decals.

I had same one, you will notice that affter you get them in water the yellow will almost compleatly disapear. That is that kind of glue for the decals, just be sure to let them dip enough in water.

That's also my experience. As it's a Revell Germany kit there probably will be a lot of extra non-used decals. You can try them to see what happens in the water.
Good luck with them.
