Hijacking this thread because I don't want to start a new one.

way back when they first came out I bought a pair of the base VF-25F kits and never got around to building them. Well, I decided to bust one of them out and put it together for the heck of it and noticed this:

The bright white part in the back is the Polystyrene runner, the cream colored parts on top are The White ABS.

This is the first time I've ever actually taken the parts out of their individual polybags. Were they always like that or did this kit seriously just yellow while sitting unopened in my closet for 5 years.

Not really a big deal since I'm just building this one for fun and practice before attempting to build and paint the other one. I'm just curious if anyone else has noticed this.

:edit:

FYI the ABS parts look kind of grey in the photo but in person they have a distinctly yellowish cream color to them.

I would say yours yellowed---while mine does has the ABS parts "a slightly different shade of white", they are not at all yellow IMHO. The styrene is "purple-white", the ABS is "grey-white". But the overall match is quite good and only apparent if you're comparing pieces actually touching each other.
