Spectre711 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I'm looking to find out what color the landing gear would have been as well as the bays and backside of the doors. Building a early 60s NM finish one but also plan to build some painted ones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spectre711 Posted April 15, 2017 Author Share Posted April 15, 2017 Silver? Green? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AX 365 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Silver for gear legs and inside of all gear doors. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spectre711 Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 Thanks, you happen to have any good reference photos so that I can detail the areas maybe? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AX 365 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) PM sent. I have to correct myself. The inside of the folding door attached to the nose gear is green, not silver. Edited April 17, 2017 by AX 365 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Snowbird3a Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Do you have any pics of this green NLG door, Mike? I have absolutely none and pics in the Milberry bible (pg 290) of a German Mk5 show AL colour. Cheers, Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Snowbird3a Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 check out that 'museum spray job' overspray !! I would call that almost ZCY on that nose door, I wouldn't fault anyone for going with a aluminum color either.(in service) Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
