b-52 flap color

Oct 30, 2004 2 Replies

Can anyone tell me the color used for the inside of the flaps, and landing gear bays on a B-52? Revell gives a mix of two of their colors (40% leafgreen, 60% lufthansayellow), which doesn't tell me much...


Flap wells and tip gear bays, doors: yellow primer

Main gear bays: uncamouflaged, SIOP (three greens over gloss white) : primer yellow strategic, single grays (roughly since the mid-1980s): gloss gray 16473

Upper flaps (covered by flap wells when retracted) uncamouflaged: aluminum SIOP: 34201 tan Strategic: 36118 Monotone Dark Gunship Gray: 36081 Monotone Gunship Gray: 36118

Hope this helps.
