Guys, look at this pic and tell me if I’m seeing this correct. Are the wells and wheel doors in this pic bare metal? You can see more pics at http://www.b-domke.de/AviationImages/Fulcrum.html
Thanks again for the link, Dana! A much needed reference!
It looks like the wheel well is actually a greyish white. The shadows just make it look like bare metal.

Yea, I think you’re right. The door is reflecting so much light it makes it look bare. It’s actually kinda surprising that it’s actually that clean!
The other thing thats throwing me is that if you go to that link and look at the pics, it’s actually two different aircraft. One appears to have white or light grey colored struts while the other seems to have dark grey struts. I think I’ll keep it simple and make it all a light grey. I’d be willing to bet that’s the way it would be anyway.

Opps…actually, it’s three aircraft. The good news is that the Soviet bird is all light grey. [:)]
