Correct color for wheel wells on Sea Hurricane?
Posted by giantsfanatic on Friday, July 22, 2016 10:27 PM

I'm currently working on an Airfix 1/72 Sea Hurricane kit (Operation Torch) and it's not clear to me what color the wheel wells should be.  The instructions show the landing gear as silver and the interior of the landing gear doors as green but there is no color callout of what color to paint the wheel wells themselves.

Should the wheel wells be green? Silver? Some other color?

Tom Cleaver says sometimes Sky to improve anti corrosion. That'd be over the original silver.

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

I would not worry about it because I.P.M.S will not put you in jail about it.No known photos exist of that color.Go w/the regular painting scheme of British aircraft.You may want to lighten the color a little bit.
