I pulled an old planet kit out of storage becasue I am thinking of giving a but of a crack, to find that the Vacform canopy has gone yellow. :banghead:

I have a sharkit where this has occured as well.

Does anybody know if this yellowing can be got rid of?

Sorry, don't know - however I'll watch this with interest because I've got an old From Sea Venom canopy that 's gone yellow, so thanks for asking the question!  :thumbsup:

Its the result of a chemical change in the plastic and according to what I've heard in the past from experienced vac folk, irreversible.

I suppose one could say its gold-tinted ala modern aircraft. ;)

I think he's referring to Tschiakovski's little known composition written for Le Petomaine, the Butt-cracker Tweet!  ;D

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.
