Fixing yellowed decals - results + a question

Recommended Posts

I have an old Airfix Sea King that I plan to use in an Apollo recovery diorama.  The decals are really yellowed so I decided to see if the much reported trick of sticking in sunlight works.  It does!  See results below.  It doesn't remove all the yellowing, but it's a definite improvement.

It got me thinking, if you have an old completed kit with yellowing decals, would sticking it in bright sunlight also work?
