I have a question about the finish of pink PRU Spitfires.Were these carrying a flat,semi-gloss or a gloss finish?

Hi Spanky. My sources indicate these were semi-gloss. Also remember that the pink is barely perceptible -- perhaps one drop of red in a paint cup full of white. Modelers tend to make them look like Pepto Bismal when in reality they really were an off-white with a pinkish tone.

Thanks Lee,semi-gloss it is but I painted it a couple of weeks ago and it's a lighter shade of pepto bismal in fact it's almost like the color of a Mary Kay Caddy.

Ah, it's just a model. Maybe the Mary Kay ladies will give you a Cadillac when they see it. :D

In fact,I was thinking of marking it Mary Kay just for grins but decided against it
