I.J.N. Mogami

Things are still crawling along with this mutant Cruiser/Carrier.  Obviously not all of the vast amount of P.E. from the Flyhark set is going ot be used but much of it will be. 

I have done some painting of the ship and what I am curious about is the look of it.  The gray is darker that the Mushasi I built earlier but thr instructions call for it.  However I just doesn't look right completely flat.  Shouldn't it be at least semi gloss, and if so, what should I use?
