looking good, and a nice touch. just check, if you have a pic of the particualr aircraft you're modelling. The inside of the wheel cover, and the gear leg, were normally painted the same colour as the undersurface, particularly on new aircraft from the factory. There were exceptions though, where the 'old' silver could be seen. The exposed oleo was, of course, chromed.
 
comming along....

Am rather pleased with the look of the exhaust headers (Ultracast), experimented with the kit ones until I was happy, then applied it to the the resin ones.

I painted them with Gunze 28 Metallic Black, let them dry for a few minutes then brushed them over with brown chalk pastel dust. I might give them a light flat clear to dull them a little.

They look pretty realistic to me, what do you think??
