It's a joke. Notice that the "screenshot" he is talking about is a photograph. Probably not a photograph from 1940, but still.

I however do have concerns, the paint on aircraft should be matt, except in the case of parade finishes, such as the finish on the aircraft in the photograph, which is presumably a current day photograph, of an aircraft finished in modern paints, for parade type duties. Some paints are acrylic now, but they weren't in WW2.

This from "How to go plastic modelling" by Chris Ellis, copyright 1970:

If you are making Second World War aircraft, the chances are you will hardly ever need gloss finishes except in the case of highly polished fighters. But on modern aircraft the finish nearly always is polished, even when it's camouflage.
