Hello everyone!
I have some plastic planes, and wherever I place them, they become yellow.. does anyone know a sollution for this? Or does someone know what to do so I can get them +/- white again? I know this is not a website about cleaning, but because most of the planespotters have some scale models I just hope someone know a sollution!
Thanks!

Are they in direct sunlight?

Wherever I place them, out of the sun or into the sun.. it doesn't make any difference

Do people smoke in the room, or an open fireplace or something? I think it is like the old personal computers IBM clones, the plastic on it always went yellow too. I don't think a chemical solution is out there, because the color goes down the core of the plastic, purely speculating; what might help is like with whitening teeth, you'll need a UV light or something.. Now that I think of it, try bit of toothpaste, let it dry in a bit, and see if it gives a white (less yellow) spot.
Re: Yellow plastic planes..
I just found something on the internet:
first you put lemonjuice on it, then wait a few minutes. Then wash it off with water and vinegar..
I'll try it with the most ugly plane I have ( DIFFICULT CHOICE!!!) and let you know
