The photo says it all. I have these Vac-Form canopies, from a Special Hobby kit, that have gone yellow.
Can this be reversed and how do you do it?
The photos do not show the yellowing too well, the canopies have a deffinite gold tnge to them.

There is a 2016 thread on this subject here https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=42474.msg734698#msg734698 and I am sure I remember something on the topic more recently.  Like in the last 3 months.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

It's unfixable and it'll only get worse.  The only option you have is to find a replacement.  Failing that, use the canopy as a female mould, fill it with resin and use the resultant cast as a male mould and smashform a new one.
