Black seems more realistic, Bernard @lis

Wheels, primed, and painted in Night Black. Manual suggest Silver, but in historical photos I found it in black.

I painted spinners and propellers in maty black but I think it looks too flat for me. What do You think about it?

To me the props look correct, my friend @lis. Do not expect too shiny surfaces, especially during those conditions, flat fits well.
Black is also more correct for the wheel rims, though steel has rarely been witnessed too!

After all I need to repaint wheels. Mask was strange and didn’t have central part of mask that fits to wheels hubs.

Thank You!

@fxrob
Thank You for good worlds! Some time I think that work goes slow as snail in compare of Yours builds☺️
PS. I glued this plastic sticks that hold propellers because I want to paint all without glued propellers.

Good idea to glue these plastic rods, my friend @lis!

Lis @lis, that’s because you build complex planes while i build Airfix starter kits!😂

Flaps was masked. Also engine air intakes was glued and sanded to smooth surface. A little bit of putty was needed.
