I seem to recall reading something about it yellowing, but it was on a model car site and they were using it in a different manner to us armour/aircraft guys. IIRC they applied it in multiple coats to try and achieve a high gloss finish. Even they were undecided about the outcome, some found it yellowed while for others it hadn't. I seem to remember finding it though the IPMS Stockholm site, but I could be wrong.

I use it on my AFV's since ages and I never see any noticeable yellowish turn... The only thing it seems to me is that it darkens quite a bit the base color so I have to make it lighter...

I guess using it in very thick coats might affect it one way or another
