Landing Gear Paint

For the landing gear I use a combination of Model Master RLM 02 (gear legs) and MM Faded Olive Drab for the door interior. This provides a little contrast and gives them a slightly different appearance and may not be totally wrong with different sub-contractors involved. Humbrol No 11 Silver was used for the polished oleo section s and a Raw Umber oil wash was used. I did apply some MiG Productions Dark Mud PO33 pigment to the tires sides, rubbing off any on the tire running surface. To provide a differnt texture look between the steel of the wheel and the rubber of the tire, graphite was brushed on the wheel to give it a metallic finish. Again, it looks better in the flesh.
