Which gloss paints? Apr 16, 2017 19:07:33 GMT

I usually paint my 54mm figures matt and them coat them in yacht varnish, however I am hoping to paint a load of white coated French troops soon and am worried the varnish might yellow slightly, even straight after application. So I have decided to use gloss enamels on them. Probably humbrol (I have a decent range), but am missing a gloss flesh colour....can anyone suggest a manufacturer for a high gloss flesh coloured paint?
