Gmg General: Color Engine?

[philo]

Hello to all.

Recently I bought on Ebay, the model GMC GENERAL, AMT 1:25.

My question is, what color is the engine and the various components (turbine, filters ect) ????????

I do not know how to use color to paint the engine of the GMC GENERAL??

In advance I thank you for your help.

Well, there has been some dabate about this very subject. The engine in the kit is a 8V92N, so the entire engine should be Detroit Diesel Alpine Green. If you do add a turbine, the engine should be silver. The one shown is for a 8V71, but it could be modified. The starter could be either green or black, filters would probably be white, fan would be green, altinator should be flat aluminum, air compressor either green or black.

Might I recommend these for a little extra detail.

I made some of the Cummins decals myself, on my Alps.

By the way, i would welcome comments on the engine color here. Too dark? Too brown?

Does look a little on the brown side, but it's hard to tell. What did you used for fan belts?
