I have the Trumpeter TU-16K-10 in 1/72 scale but have some difficulty in determining the proper colours of the wheel wells and the wheels themselves. The kit suggest that they are Olive Drab but I question this. The radar blisters are Olive Drab. I'm not sure that this bird was exported so I may be stuck going bare metal as I don't think the Soviets did this in any other colour.

Can anyone offer some suggestions? Thanks!

Much appreciated. Still not sure if this particular version was exported. I'll settle for bare metal finish. Still not sure about wheel well colour.
