Hey Guys, Can Anyone Tell Me  if i should Gloss or Flat Testors Model Master Paints to Recreate the Anti-Flash White Paint Scheme on Many British Aircraft??  Thanks for Looking. :unsure:

Going by pics I've seen, I would go glossy myself or very slightly satin for a well used aircraft.

The paint was designed to reflect the heat and radiation of a nuclear blast, a gloss finish would certainly help that purpose.

Gloss white is what you need, a friend of mine has a aluminium model of a Vulcan Avro made in the 1960's and its painted in the anti-flash white cos I tried to photo it and the first picture came out with a green tint and the second with a purple tint as it reflected the flash back.
