I just picked up the new Dragon 1/48 scale Apollo Lunar Module "Eagle" kit at the local shop.
It is the "First release" and includes pre-painted gold parts.
As I work on the kit, I've found a puzzle:
What color should the lower support praces for the "legs" be? The color and markings llustrations on the back of the box,and the cover artwork, both show them as a mix of black and silver.
But the pictures also show them as smooth surfaced, while the kit parts are covered with that "wrapped in foil" surface detail. The parts are also some of the ones that were painted gold at the factory.
I started to paint them black (just mindlessly following the instructions) but they don't look right-- I suspect that the parts are silver and black underneath, but then wrapped in gold foil-- a detail the color and markings artist missed.
I've done some googling, but haven't found a build review or a decent reference yet.....
