With enough Elmer's FNF, primer and sanding one can cover up a lot. 
The tubes had issues but they were useable. The inside of the tubes had no damage.
The original Centuri adhesive shock cord anchor no longer had any adhesive.
I replaced that with an Estes tri-fold shock cord anchor.
The shock cord itself was dried out and broke once it experienced any tension.
The kit decal had yellowed so I taped it to a sun facing window and let the sunlight
clear up the discoloring. It looks pretty good now.
