| I think its all down to personal preference.
All the big ww2 tanks ive seen in real life have had a more or less matt finish, any satinny portions i would have put down to handling and age (ie. edges where hands have been, or where oil/grease has once upon a time been splashed.
From experience of 1/16 stuff i much prefer the full on matt finish, for me they look less plasticky if you know what i mean. The only tank i finished in a satin (completely by mistake, after applying a "matt" varnish which turned out slightly satin!!) made it look plastic. |
