Place the decal sheet on a window pane, facing sunshine, and the yellowish thing will disappear. Make sure there's no condensation on the window!

To keep that from happening, it is a good idea to keep decals of kits you purchase into zip-lock kind of bags.

And, by the way, can you try to use 'normal' letters instead of capitals? It's so much easier to read..! Thanks!

Deano,
Once the yellowed decals are on the model, I'm not sure that problem can be overcome.
Anyone have a fix for that?
Use the tip of placening the decals for a week or so taped to a window facing the sun, or if you have a steady hand, use a new no.11 blade and trim away the clear carrier from the edges of each decal - but it's hard to do for things like stencilling.
If it's yellow on the model, you might have to live with it..............
