Re: Ebbro Citroen DS 1955 "Salon de Paris" 1/24

Not intended as a critisism of this model, which the somewhat 'pastel' shade of green is appropriate for the age of the car but...

should 60s, 70s models have the super clear coat shine that we can get on our models?

On my nearly finished Healey 100, I've deliberately tried to keep the colours muted and low shine, will do the same for the TR3 coming up.

My 1:1 Viva ha, powder blue, took all day to get any sort of shine on it and then it faded back to flat in a week!

With a high gloss so easy to achieve with either airbrush or rattle can, it is so tempting to go for it but is it correct????
