Xtracrlix and Vallejo flats tend to have a slight satin sheen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can imagine they will look quite nice!! Just a superb build mate.....and im not just saying that because we are the Global Moderating Team!! LOL Stoppit! After seeing some of the builds on here over time I'm mostly playing catchup or trying desperately to work out how other people have done the sme thing. The kit has been good, only thing I wish I had done was metal tube and pinned the Tanks as it isnt as neat as I would have liked. But thats the engineer in me creeping out! Its not Tamiya, its not Hasegawa, but its pretty damn close and after a primer coat and the top coats the rivets have toned down really well. I'm looking forward to seeing Trumpeters Harriers and Crusader as they are catching the big 2! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
