Depends upon the adhesive.  Use Future, not CA.

No, I mean the actual MV lenses themselves turn yellow.    I used white glue to install 3 of the clear MV lenses into the nose gear of my SU-30, and it worked awesome, and the glue dried crystal clear. 

At the time of installation, the MV Lenses themselves were also crystal clear too. FF 6 years to the 2017 US Nationals, and after being in my display case for years without me actually noticing, on the contest table at the NATs last year I finally noticed all 3 clear MV lenses were now all amber colored.

 

I haven't really noticed any color changes with the pre-colored red/green/amber MV lenses.

Odd.  I'll have to check my clear ones.  Thanks.

Strange for sure. I'm wondering what the actual clear MV lens is made of?

Does the difference of wheel chock color have meaning?

 

Thank you.

Mark. Good question. On my research photos they use both colors..im sure there is a reason for it.
