See TS-48 Gunship Gray. Seal with semi-gloss clear to get that toy ‘sheen’. I’ve refurbed a few Joe and Starcom vehicles this way. Stickers have no issues with attaching to the paint.

Thanks! I did try the black plastic restorer back in December. It reduced it some but did not eliminate. I am thinking of trying some clear satin spray in one of the hidden areas first and see if just the uniform finish hides it more. If that doesn't work, I can always try the full repaint method as you suggested. I did do a decent spray job on a Joe Crusader shuttle that was badly yellowed last fall, and that turned out pretty good.

Yep, the only permanent fix for yellowing imho is a respray, same as I did for Starcom white. Peace of mind.

Love all the ideas and resources guys! I appreciate it. I started on my SkyStriker and it cleaned up very nice! I also did some digging and found the other landing gear wheel! I only have one of those little tabs that snap and hold the landing gear in place though. SO... the hunt begins.

While searching over in my parent's crawlspace, I also found my APC Turret, and the Killer Whale front ramp! Like finding gold... lol.

Built a shelf for everything I am restoring too... I may make my own thread to document the progress. Again - thanks for the references everyone. I have subbed this thread.

Bought a lot of figures Ebay - lots of discolored/yellow figs from 1989. Going to try out the Developer method to see if I can restore them. I just need the damn sun to come out I may end up waiting until spring.
