Andrewvft Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Hi, Though its not a plastic model, its a diecast model, but over time the canopy has turned white. Does anyone know if this can ever be fixed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrewvft Posted June 24, 2018 Author Share Posted June 24, 2018 Thanks Stu! Damn, its a Witty Wings F-16. My other models around it didn't seem to have this problem with the. Shame about this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Some people paint their canopies black or a pale blue - that might be a better look than it looking like the pilot is hotboxing It looks like it's on the inside of the canopy, but have you tried polishing it? Might be worth a go with some non-destructive polish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
