I just masked and painted them in place. The entire gear bay needs to be painted anyway, at least in the legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no experience with metal parts, but white paint tends to be on the thin and watery side, so I used primer to help cover and stick better.

Amazing what a difference it makes! Great job!!! Damn you, now it seems like something I should do too. Just remember add the silver to the shock struts.

Just remember add the silver to the shock struts. Always making more work for me! Not that I mind any tips that help improve the final product. All the landing gear bay doors can be completely removed, which makes masking and painting much easier. Even the one at the very front, but it's in super tight. I had to wrap the door in several layers of masking tape, then use a pair of pliers to yank the door out. 3 hours ago, Saburo said: OWL ONE Armour V2 That looks so nice.

I got chance to handle/photograph the prototypes of the 1/60 version, they were really nice. Maybe one day they will get a chance to release them.
