Personally I'd go for a Matt finish Peter.

I don't know whether or not you've visited the victory in Protsmouth or not Peter ..... But just for reference the yellow on the ship is more of a "Banana Yellow" rather than a bright yellow......... Of course you could paint her "Red" which was the original colour before she ended up with the Red & Yellow.

Why not just matt varnish it Peter?

Or satin?

That looks more authentic in God colours you have ? Going by the paintings of the victory,


However I know different artist use different shades and lighting with there paintings but I think ( personally ) it's spot on
