Differing Paint Reflectivity on Bristol Bolingbrokes

Recommended Posts

I noticed in a recent excerpted video ("The Son of Lassie" 1943) from Barry Swinn on Scale Aircraft Modelling's (SAM) Facebook site ( https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=Scale Aircraft Modelling &epa=SEARCH_BOX  ) a couple points ( 1:12 and 0:09) where the sunlight reflects satiny off the RAF Dark Green (or equivalent) but not at all off the Extra Dark Sea Grey. I get this all the time mixing paints of differing manufacturers, and feel obliged to fix it. Can I stop feeling guilty about it? Was this a common effect with wartime paints?
