So, I am building a scale model of a syclone, and I like all my models to be as accuarate as possible. So I am stuck on what the bottom of it looked like. I know the frame and suspension is black, but was the bottom of the cab in primer or what? I just wound like to know. If anybody has some pics, it would be greatly apperciated. What color were the stock shocks also?

and Hopefully someday I will own a real one, so I can stop putting these kits together haha.

Thanks.

Bottom of the bed and cab are gray primer. The shocks were yellow with blue boots. The exhaust, transmission, and transfer case and rear drive shaft were unfinished metal.

For some added reality;

Put some oil droplets around the oil filter relocater lines...

Also, put some wrenching marks on the motor mount bolts...

or for a touch of flair, coat the whole bottom with oil to simulate said oil filter relocator lines cracking and pumping oil all over the place.

He could also put on a wax on the frame the adheres to everything and you can never clean with out ruining the finish.

A little past the halfway point in the above link is a couple of pictures of the underside of Renzs typhoon at Homecoming. The shocks are after market, as well as the sway bar. Its not a Syclone, but it is a good representation of what you are looking for.

i took a more recent pic of it on a lift:

note its a non stock driveline, stock oil pan is gloss black, as is the front prop shaft. Rear driveshaft is raw steel and typically ends up rust-colored looking. Frame is black. Sheet metal is gray, some areas have a black spray on lining on mine (i assume thats factory for spots likely to take rock abuse, but not sure - never looked into it)
