Does anyone know of a white paint that can be used on models that won't turn into a yellowish color over time?

Welcome aboard Joe I find that using a Acrylic paint stays whiter over the years than the Enamel paints. I've also heard that some would drop just a dab of light blue or light gray in to the white to help keep it from turning yellow, myself i've never tried this. I have two kits that turned yellow using the Enamels and no problems with the others. Again welcome and can't wait to see some of your builds.

There are available oils out ther that has a label "non-yellowing". Grab one of this. I'm using Louvre white and it stays white.
