1:200 StarJets – tails yellowing

That doesn’t sound too bad – though it looks absolutely horrible right now.

I’ll wait and see how it looks when I get some decent cabinets, then… and if that doesn’t work I’ll try and find replacements. That’ll be hard, I guess – they don’t make StarJets any more, do they?

HI
I know how it feels to have a faded look on ur a/c but looking at the two BA planes.. I’d suggest you still display them with soft lights (halogen lamps) angled in such a way that the fading is not too obvious. Trust me, angle the planes to the light source in such a way that they’d still look good.
It’s all in the tricks buddy… dont throw them off.
Cheers

Hi all – just discovered this forum today.

I’ve got all the 1:200 StarJets I know of, but for various reasons they’ve been in their boxes for over a year. Pulled them out last night and found, to my horror, that two of the tails have gone yellow. It’s only the BA A319 and BA A321 that have done this – the rest are fine.

Anyone else had something like this happen to them? I take it my only option now is to replace them (if that’s still possible) and keep the old ones for spares? 🙁

And don’t worry about the rest – I’m moving next week, so straight down to IKEA for display cabinets 🙂
