installed the wings real quick. thing is I dunno what color to do the gear bays and the inside of the engine cowling. any ideas?

 

[Airframes]

Zinc Chromate.

 

[Trebor]

either that or this:

 

[Wurger]

Yep... I agree with Terry. Don't believe these shots taken in museums. Planes there aren't painted correctly often.

 

[Trebor]

yeah, but was zinc chromate standard on DC-3s serving in airlines?

 

[Trebor]

'nother update of the engines. based on several photos, I decided to make the cylinder heads aluminum. looks more realistic, I think. after I finish the model, I think a couple details will be added via insanely thin wire. such as hydraulic lines on the landing gear and fuel lines in the engines.

 

[Wayne Little]

Doin' good Rob!

 

[vikingBerserker]

I agree.

 

[Trebor]

[Trebor]

Rob look'in good there try using a thin thin wash on those radials of black.If acylic paints used for the base go enamel and vice-versa it will make them stand out big.

 

[Wayne Little]

Good to see you been busy Jan....

 

[Airframes]

Good stuff old boy.

 

[Lucky13]

[Airframes]

Looking good old chap. Keep plugging away with those track links.

I already do enamel, there. plus I've already assembled the engines and the cowling. when I get more time, I'll post a couple pics. I've stuffed cotton balls into the cockpit and engine housings of the DC-3. so she's ready for putty.

I'm liking the tank Jan!
