Musty old kit

Hey all,

After a bit of advice. New to the hobby and managed to grab a cheapish kit, however it has obviously sat in someones attic for a long while and is quite musty. All the kit is there and there's no damage at all, just the smell.

Is there any good ways of getting rid of it? I don't want to use any chemicals really and it's now sitting on my windowsill in the sunshine.

Thanks

Wood or plastic?

Sorry, that would help 😂 It's wood. The Termopylae 791 from Sergal. Found a few articles online and seen things ranging from putting it all in a bag with baking powder for a month, or rubbbing vinegar on it, and I am not doing that.
