Airfix 1/72 C-47A

The engines cylinders were painted Model Master gloss black lacquer, then the area between each set of push rod housings was filled in with Floquil Old Silver.
 The same paint was used to paint the ignition ring, the reduction gear housings are Model Master Navy Gloss Grey.  Before the ignition ring and gear case were
installed the cylinders were given a heavy coat of Tamiya Smoke followed by Alclad II Flat Clear.  The dishpan area behind the engine is painted Model
Master Non-Buffing Stainless Steel Metalizer.  It probably will not be visible with the cowl flaps closed.
