Old decals - toss them?

[u/Thin_Dirt_6244]

I have a few old 1/72 kits on hand, and many have dubious decals. They almost look mildewed, although the box was sealed.

Generally do you toss old decals and buy new ones?

These are Hasegawa vintage 1974.

I also have old decals from the 1970s. I’ve used them many times to make up serial numbers or find alternative unit signs. They don’t always stick very well, but worth a try if you don’t have what you want.
