    Jacobus,

                 That one still looks pretty good after all the years ! looking forward to seeing it cleaned up.

Jacobus, I think the yellowing of the glass parts is caused by UV light. I had this problem with models near windows exposed to bright daylight or even sunlight. Now I always protect my models by using my venetian blinds because the yellowing is irreversible .
