Getting along nicly with the Bill bros kit, cut off all the moving bits for reattaching at a later date but what colour would the parts only visable when the flaps are dropped be?

1957 109 Series One, Daisy
1965 Series 11 SWB GS , Rose.

Mostly they would be either zincchromate primer (Yellow tone version) in non crew areas, but if the flaps etc. vere mounted later, the bays may be the colour of the surroundings, navy aircraft normally had a top layer of "real" paint in these areas and wheelbays i.o.t. have better protection for the salt air.
