What do folks here do when detail highlighting white wheel wells? If you drybrush, what color(s) have been most effective? What about pastel chalks? If so, what color(s)? Thanks...
Highlighting white wheel wells

Not really "highlighting", but I add grime. I use a wash of burnt umber over the white. I use enamels exclusively.
First, don't paint them "white" to begin with. They are on the underside of the aircraft, so despite being "officially" white... they are *not* white, as they will be under some shadow. Try a very light gray. Dirty up the "more shadowy" areas, and then dry-brush with a pure white, if you wish.
Great suggestions. Thanks to all who replied.
Cheers, David.
