Question can anyone help me?

So I got this beauty as a gift...as you can see from the pictures, it has had better days. Seems like the guy who had it did not take care of it at all.
Is there anything that I can do to remove those nasty marks? Or should I just lay it to rest? Does anyone know who (if any) can restore it or even customize this one for me?

Thanks.

I would try a cloth with warm water. Only wipe a small portion and let it sit to make sure the water won't damage the model. If it works and the water doesn't cause any harm I would use some more.

Looks like the aluminum paint has deteriorated...you may have to have it restored.

Thanks Guys...I will try a damp cloth...
I would hate having to throw it away because it really is a nice model...I would like it more if it had landing gears...lol
