                        Apologies for delay in responding.Many thanks for the tip.  It took a couple of coats but I now have a decent finish.

                        Hi sirtim! Welcome to the Forums. Glad to have you with us.

                        If you haven't closed the cockpit up in the fuselage yet, you could just spray a coat of clear flat over top of the gloss. That will dull it up. 

                        Hope that this helps.

                        I keep hitting "escape", but I'm still here.

                        Now in my seventies I've have returned to modelling aircraft.  I've been fairly successful with the Airfix 1/24th Typhoon and Mosquito.  Now building the Liberator.  I used Mr Hobby Interior Green but stupidly mixed Tamiya Clear for my air brush (had the wrong glasses on) and have now got a high gloss interior!  Any advice on how to dull this down?
