cleaning old models

[darkhorse]

What is the best way to clean old model kits , they have fly spots and dust on them....mild soapy water? What about the decals?

Cheers

If you have sealed them they should be OK
If not use a soft, fluffy make-up brush (don't tell the wife)

I use a blower brush - the kind you use to clean lenses.
Don't know how much they cost these days, but I shouldn't think they're expensive.
(I've had a bunch of them for years thanks to other hobbies)

Also occasionally blow dust off with clean air through an airbrush for really delicate bits such as rigging/aerials etc.

A quick google and.... they still only cost a coupla quid.
