TBH will gloss black do the job?

The Brits did an amazing job of applying science to everything in the war. Whilst the huns were making better hardware, the Brits won the software war.

Yup – breaking the German codes was a war winner.

Stu - mix a little matt blue in with it to take the high gloss off.

The Humbrol satin black (85) is nice. Don't know if they have it in acyrlics though.

I really like Revell paints and they do a good range of blacks. Available at Hobbycraft.

Revell are what I'm increasingly using since the model shop in Llanfair­pwllgwyngyll­gogery­chwyrn­drobwll­llan­tysilio­gogo­goch stocks them. Nice paints TBH, and I like the squat containers which are very hard to knock over!

The shop in Bangor has stopped doing Vallejo. Sadness.

Humbrol have the same tins and a wider range.
