Hi there.

The decals on my old 1/72 scale conversion of the Hobbycraft Avro Arrow Mk.1 to the M.k.3 Mach 3 version have yellowed. Before I remove them I thought I'd ask here if anyone has ever had any luck restoring applied decals that have yellowed. The model can be seen

Here are two views that show the yellowed decals.

Thanks for looking and comments are very welcomed.

Cheers from Peter
 
I would think that with the exception of the cat emblems, all the decals are available from the aftermarket. so I believe you would be better served by remove and replacing the old ones. As to the cat emblems you could likely print them yourself on your printer by designing or copying them into a graphics program, then using aftermarket decal sheets and your printer.
Regardless the model is definitely worth saving. :good:
