That might be some of the yellowing.

I read that somewhere and it never occurred to me that the glue could cause that kind of problem.

I think I know how to prevent this, coat them in Future. But I don't know how to fix them if they're already on the model. Typically you can use bright sunlight to bleach decals by hanging the sheet in a warm, sunny window for a couple months. But I don't think that would work too well with decals ...

I've noticed that on some of my older kits (AMT) that I have built, the decals have turned a little yellow. Is there a way to keep this from happening in the future and is there a way to reverse the effect on the old kit?

Thanks for the tip!
