Not so much about the sheen Mike as it is the shade .
In this case , they picked a color that is nearly orange . For some reason Tamiya red and Tamiya yellow mixed together look to be a murky beige instead of orange.

Uau, Christian, great job! 
I really like the Nate, I think I have one in my stash. Amazing job on that engine cowling.
Looking forward to more pictures. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Swordsman and Alex for the encouragement.
Believe it or not , I have done one more color update. Added another 16 % red to the mixture and now I feel like it's right.
Managed to destroy part of that lovely red stripe with the blue tack
. Painted it on this time instead. 
While watching the paint dry , I used some oils to accentuate the flight control surfaces.
and now that I have two things drying I decided to do something about those non existent wheels.
I cut a plastic disc and cut four small sections off and glued them onto the existing plastic.
Not very fancy but it will like something when painted .
Now, I'm pondering how much more detail to put into the paint work . Very different from my normal builds.
Hope you like it. Cheers, Christian B)

Well if you do Ian, pick one of the paint job that has all the decals available .
I believe they have two more sheets available but the one I picked was my Favorite.

Thank you Warren , Mark, Dave , Luiz and my apologies to anyone I have missed.
Can't believe how long it has been since my last post....Sorry
The wife coned me into a week's vacation to Seattle, Victoria and Vancouver ....
, so I went !
Beautiful country although it reminded me a bit of Germany . Sunglasses or umbrellas were required at a moments's notice . Plenty of good food abounded ....Unfortunately I brought back no pictures
My most memorable time came while taking a flight in one of these
More interesting ride than a rollercoaster. The approach was similar to the first hill of the best coaster I have ever been on :frantic But the landing was smoother than any other flight I have been in :frantic
Anyhow, got past the gremlins that followed our return
A good many things have been done since the last post .
I never mentioned the panels ( ? ) on the wings. Those were added . They might possibly be access panels for the struts.
The bird has received the pin washes, some dirt and some subtle paint chipping added .
The pitot tube has been replaced with a piece of hypodermic needle and position light have been fabricated from heated sprue since the kit had none
The red and white marking on the spats were touched up ( since the decals would not cooperate ) and the exhaust pipes were replaced with some home made brass ones.
The tail skid was repaired with a brass wire and the wooden antennae was installed and painted.
A blackened piece of sprue was inserted between the cowl and fuselage .
a vac-u-formed sliding canopy was painted and installed .
Hope you all enjoyed this build, I sure did. Thanks for looking
