I have bought two different skystriker cockpits from two different people on ebay and they both have a funky odor that is identical. Has anyone else noticed this on their vintage skystriker cockpit? Does anyone know a good way to:
A. Get rid of the smell B Clean the hell out of the cockpit and get any light scratches out if possible. All help is greatly appreciated. |

Never noticed, but now you've made me curious.

I'm envisioning hundreds of Tankers simultaneously sniffing the cockpit of their Skystrikers.
Poor Ace. Cooped up in that heavy flight suit in the cockpit of a supersonic fighter jet. Gotta be sweat stains. |

There's a lot of good material for some crude jokes there.
I'll just keep 'em to myself & chuckle.

.............I almost took off with it too, good thing I have some self control
Cant say I have ever smelled my striker cockpits though. Of course I have not owned one in several years. I did get a battle platform that stunk to high heaven. Took a year to get that smell out |

My Cockpit, Armpit, sure, but only after a good run or a game of football(s).
Hot shower and a rub down is the best bet. As for the scratches, try to use a soap with a nice lather to stop future scratches. And now you know.... |

I've noticed a puke-like odor in my Skystriker when I first got it as a kid. Being a stupid kid, I reasoned that a factory worker must have thrown up in it. The smell wore off after a few weeks.
