Another question for the masses. Although I am a ways off from painting the undersides of my B-36, was the anti-thermal white paint gloss, semi-gloss or flat? The restores all look glossy, but I suspect they weren't using anti-thermal paint. It is difficult to tell from old photos -- everything looks flat, including the shiny aluminum.
I'm also sensitive to the fact the modeler sometimes needs to modify the paint color or gloss texture from the original in order to make it look correct in a miniature model (i.e. flatter paint tends to look for realistic than gloss paint).
