Hi Marco,
probably, yes. Probably not always, some images of Lavochkins show light legs as an alternative, but the most of the photos show a darkness of the legs comparable to the inner face of the covers, supposedly painted grey A-14.
Regards
Massimo.

Hi Massimo, many thanks for your reply. So in this case I will to paint in A-14 the legs and tail wheel strut, wheel bays, and inner faces of gear cover.
For the wheel hubs I wait for your reply in the "colors, schemes & research" section.
Ciao!
Marco

Hi Otto, ultimate and endless...   Now I am looking which "strange numbered" to do...I like white 44 but there are no images for the right side of this plane to see the camo pattern. Probably I will choose white 20, whit camo visible in the left and right side... Ciao! Marco |

Marco, in case you need adhesive masks to paint those "strange numbers", I could make them with my cutting plotter.

Hi Otto, many thanks for your kindness! Me too have a cutting plotter, a "Shilouette Cameo" running under linux and Inkscape as SVG software. Surely I will cut the numbers and the stars in adhesive masks before long...
What your equipment Otto?
Ciao!
Marco

I have a Cameo too!
I only used it to make some plastic parts for my Terminator, but it's great to cut paint masks!

Hi Otto, hi Marco,
the cutting plotter is a very interesting device. Now I'm cutting by hand the masks for the pixel camouflage of my ZTZ-99, and it is an huge work.
How much does the plotter cost, just to have an idea?
Regards
Massimo

Hi Massimo, the Cameo is the best device to cut the masks carefully (...one of the best device...I don't know if does exist other brands...). I bought mine here: http://www.silhouetteitaly.com/#!on-line-store. They also have a good choice spare parts and accessories. I paid it about ?300 but now is a bit cheaper.... As I said I use the plotter under linux and with inkscape as SVG software (free), with a little software made by a friend of www.modellismopiu.it. Obviously the plotter has his software running under Windows. If you cut masks often I will recommend buying.... HTH. Ciao! Marco |

Hi Marco,
the device looks interesting and the price is not impossible. Thank you for your informations.
I had a look to the main page of modellismopi?. I saw that the last posts are of 5 years ago. Is the site still vital?
Regards
Massimo

Hi guys, here some pictures of the last updates, regarding the canopy: Canopy cut out parts:      Canopy protection racks finally removed:   Canopy and frames. Now the sliding part is slightly squashed due to strips tape used as guides:    Some parts ready for painting:   What do you think about canopy? In my impression in photos the frames appears slightly thick....but in real they seems right....I can not understand why this impression... Again: does anyone has pictures about canopy latch? I am not able to find anything about it... Many thanks for all! Ciao! Marco |
