I've nearly finished an Airfix (Xtrakit) Meteor F8 in green/grey and silver. It's in 604 Sqdn markings dated 1954 (SAM, in detail Vol1 p258) but what sort of finish should it have, gloss, satin or matt?
The whole of the fin is in yellow should that be gloss?
TIA
Neil

Gloss - Just off Major Servicing
Satin - In between Major Servicings
Matt - Due Major Servicing (with well worn leading edges down to the yellow primer.)
Ignore all that - if it looks right to you - it will be. The T-birds nice as well!

Thanx for the info. Mmm, kind of do whatever I fancy doing then... I just had this feeling in my nether regions (and you should never ignore a feeling in your nether regions!) that in the 50s all RAF jets were gloss finish. Well, it's gloss now and it looks crap so it's gonna change
