Thanks steve thats a great help ZC it is your dad and the FAA are good enough for me.As this is an korean war fury.BB

Yep. The 'factory' finish for the wheel bays, and the insides of the gear covers, was 'Aluminium', a silver paint, but this was given a coat of ZC as protection against corrosion at sea. The wing folds, AFAIK, remained 'silver', as did (possibly) the gear doors.

Thanks terry that a great help now i can get on with the u/c iv,e already sanded the doors down to a more thinner scale look because they were far to thick and looked like barn doors.BB

Phoned my brother and got him to check the model made by dad. Inner gear doors are "silver" i.e.aluminium. Can't check wingfold as it is modelled with wings unfolded!

I think i will stick with z/c as i have looked on a few other sites and other modellers have done there,s that colour.BB

I'd go with the silver for the doors BB. The bay was given a coat of ZC as previously mentioned, but the doors remained 'aluminium' painted, as seen ai all pics of the Sea Fury.

[ellis995]

I agree with Dirk

 

[Airframes]

Looks ok to me. Maybe pick out those pipe unions coated in ZC, in the corners of the bay?

Ok here are some more pics of the fury she,s now on her undercarriage and i have now done some of the pannelling on the top of the aircraft .The close up of the cockpit area is to show just how good the kits decals are.BB
