Printed by Super Scale back then with all that comes with that (thin with reasonable accuracy and register, yet somewhat brittle with age and somehwat prone to yellowing). Mine are not terribly yellowed, but are probably brittle. Also, there is no white on the banner down the sides, relying instead on the expected white paint under the decals.

HTH, D I've heard that old sheets like that, taped to a south facing window, will eliminate the yellowing, though I've never personally tried it.

LSP_Mike Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Is it a US or German window now? LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Griewski Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 The decals were prewar USN. The moisture stain ruined the decals. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutik Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 It might be useful to seal the decals into a ziploc bag before exposing them to the elements. The bag doesn't affecting the UV light, but protects the decals against dirt and moisture.
