                        This is a new one for me, since the last batch of itty bitty planes I painted were molded in clear plastic. These are molded in light gray polystyrene. Any suggestions for a canopy color that will not look too odd? I'm not thrilled with my gloss black and gloss gull gray efforts.

                        Google some piccies of CVNs, and note the colour of the canopies of the aircraft on their flight decks. Look like dark grey to me. Also, not gloss. In 1/700, you can't tell the difference.

                        Cheers,

                        Chris.
