Depends what parts of the plane. Usually the plastic parts will turn yellow in a short period of time. This has happened to some of my models in the past. This usually happens with the engines and some tail fins. The funny thing is that this happens even though they are not exposed to direct sunlight. Hope they correct this in the future.

Is there really no way to prevent this?

Okay guys. Think about the question you are asking Singapore......air. Now does this seem like the right place to ask you question?

This is the Model Airport section. This belongs in the 1:500 or 1:400 section.

And yes they turn yellow, to stop this, put your planes away or some were dark.
