Canberra T.17 wheel wells color

Hi!

I am build now late Canberra T.17 in Hemp color (WD955).

I believe the wheel wells must be black-gray. But I saw also silver colored wheel wells. 
Any chance that they are not black-gray?

 

Thanks in advance

You can actually paint them in either black or gloss white.

 

Canberras wheel wells were painted white during major servicing. Before that they were black.

And don't forget silver, but the T.17A were all white.

Very true.

 

I know that when I was stationed at RAF Wyton in the late 70's we had T.4's, T.17's, PR.7's & PR.9's and you could find wheel wells in all three colour!!
