Tamiya F-35 paint question


Recommended Posts

I got a Tamiya F-35 for my birthday. While reviewing the instructions, I noticed that flat white was called for on the landing gear & weapons bays and for the intake trunks. Aren't these normally gloss white? Since I have never seen an F-35 up close, I thought I'd reach out to the hive mind and see what you all think.

 

Thanks!

Hasegawa calls for FS17875 Insignia White, it's gloss white.

This actual picture even shows a pretty good thin vertical line-reflection of the flooring on the gear strut; a flat white surely wouldn't have such kind of reflection.
