Spruemeister Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 The gear itself should be titanium forgings, but that finish looks darker than the underside panels of say the F-15.  Compare photos of the gear to the inside of the gear doors; also titanium and brighter than the gear.  Maybe something like anodizing darkened by a life lived in high temps.  I wonder if you could cut gunmetal with a little aluminum or light gray and get close?   Rick L.   Quote Link to post Share on other sites
airmechaja Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Give Tamiya's Metallic Grey a try. It's pretty dark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
