tucohoward Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Dale, 02 is fine for a G-6. 66 is usually on later stuff like G-10 and K-4. Jay mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay He says following my exploits with an airbrush full of 66 covering the original 02. Thanks dude! I've got "Chemo Brain"!!!! "Dale, STFU about your having chemo brain!"

Shaka HI Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 That looks awesome, Dale..my Revell G6 build -- stalled at the moment sucks big time, so much that I decided to close the cockpit! mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Kevin Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 You're doing some really impressive stuff here, Dale! Oh, and for what it's worth, my understanding is that the change from 02 to 66 in the cockpits started from late 1940, during the latter stages of the Emil production run. By the time the 109F was introduced, 66 in the cockpit was standard. Kev mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpk Posted December 2, 2016 Author Share Posted December 2, 2016 Oh don't forget the gunsight! I won't mate. I thought if I had have fitted it first, I'd have broken it while putting all that together. Don't worry about your cockpit, I am doing the same with a Hasegawa build. Notice the lack of photographic evidence? "The cockpit on this K4 is just wonderful!" Now that Jay has been so rude in not responding to my demands earlier, grrr, I must apply 02 to the wheel bays! Actually, don't tell Jay, but I sprayed 66 on a few days ago. I just need to offload this gnawing sense of responsibility. For my actions. You know. Insane and all. BUT! It was all just a case of my "pre-shading". Shaka HI and tucohoward 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Kevin Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Okay, now I have you, I am interested in the wheel bays, legs etc. 02 or 66? Except for the inevitable exceptions, it should be 02 everywhere, with 66 in the cockpit. I would not be repainting that cockpit, however. It looks great!

mpk Posted December 2, 2016 Author Share Posted December 2, 2016 Oh bugger it. Spraying 02 all over the place'll give me something to do. Until, THAT is, until a lovely member offers me more advice. Upon whom will rest ALL my responsibility!!!!! Plus it'll keep me off the streets. That can only be a good thing. tucohoward and Shaka HI 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tucohoward Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 On the G-10's and K-4's the wheel wells can be natural metal or 76 and probably 02 as well, the way things were at the end of the war. Existing paint stocks were used up I would imagine. The gear legs generally appear darker in pics so are thought to be 66. As we know though, there are not many absolutes with late-war Luftwaffe colors. Prior to that everything was 02 as Kev mentioned.
