Sgt Shultz II Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 I just built a 144 scale KC-135 it was an old Revell kit dated 1957 and the decals have yellowed. Is there a way to fix them? Ron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Geoff M Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Try taping them to a window facing out with lots of sun exposure. UV light will bleach them, so I have been told. Geoff M Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cruiz Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 The same thing as Geoff said, never tried it myself, but a couple of guys I know did, and it worked. For the age of the decals, I would be more worried about their integrity; a layer of Microscale Liquid Decal Film should prevent them turn into pieces, and a Setting Solution will help to adhere them to the model.

Cat Barf Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Why not just buy a new set of decals? 1/144 KC-135 decals should be easy to find. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Caracal has several KC-135 sheets including generic markings in 144th but their A model sheet has not yet been released. https://www.caracalmodels.com/144scale.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
