Hajo L. Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I´m currently working on the Revell 1/72 A-26B Invader. I want to do the "black" aircraft that flew during the Korean War. Did these Invaders really wore glossy black? I´d thought it would be matt... HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Gloss finish Flat and gloss finish But on most, it would have been gloss, yes, if it had the black scheme. Planes in Korea did get very dirty, though, and the weather was harsh. So a perfeclty gloss overall finish wouldn't be very realistic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SERNAK Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 It depends on the level of weathering you're planning to apply. If it's heavy, then definitely matt/satin black. For better results, use photos references. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
