I'd agree Barry if set was an allied one but its an axis set, Japanese, for which you dont see many around. 

The set is a Japanese fighter tx, Model 99 Mk3. Its quite beaten up and I'm now thinking that any restoration may distract from its worth. I have a rather poor picture (cheap digital camera, better to follow off my superior 35mm film one) at: [www.qsl.net/g4bxd/japanese.htm] and 2nd item down. 

So, I'm leaning towards simply leaving it as it is, maybe boxed in clear perspex ? 

Interesting problem though.
