WHEEL WELLS FOR A MIRAGE 2000
Posted by chrysler_jerry on Tuesday, December 2, 2003 10:56 AM
I am currently working on the 1/48 alteri mirage 2000c. The directions are a little light on detail. I have found by surfing the net the wheel struts and hubs are chrome silver. However I don't know what the wheel wells should be painted. Can someone help out there in model land?
Thank you in advance for anny help you can give.

Hey Jerry;
coming from first hand experiance working around (just around they shared the same ramp with the planes I worked) the 2000 at airbases around the world and most of them looked like they where a metallic silver not chrome-closer to a steel color not a really polished one, you could use a dull Alumumn color too only the pistons where chromed, and some even where painted gloss white so that really blew my mind, I've worked on a lot of Dassult planes from the Falconjet 10 to the 2000 and they where painted a metalic grey or silver color and it's a PRC paint kit that was used and it had 3 colors first was a very light green then a dark green then the top coat of metalic sounds crazy but look at the French anyways
