Bf-109 E MLG Wheel Well Color

[aircare84 414]

Am currently building Eduards Bf-109 E4.

The instructions say to paint the leg area & upper surface of the MLG wheel well aluminum (bare metal).

Is this accurate, possible or probable, or should the well be painted in RLM 02?

I know about the canvas liner in the well & have it painted appropriately.

Do not have much info on the early marks of the 109.

TIA.

I’d go with RLM 02

Yep, most of the E series had 02 bays and legs.

Some of the earlier Es had 65 legs.  Keep in

mind that there are exceptions to just about

everything 109.
