peterburns Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I’ve been searching for pictures or information regarding the inner flap color for the green and grey era C-130’s. My best guess so far is silver or possibly white but not sure....so I thought i’d throw it out to you guys Thanks for your time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72modeler Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 The T.O. for early USAF C-130's lists FS17178, silver, as the color applied to flap wells. I would guess that since Lockheed built the RAF's Herks, the interior surfaces would most likely be finished the same as the USAF/USMC aircraft. You could also try looking at a copy of the Detail in Scale Camouflage and Markings No. 7 on the C-130, which covers all users. I'm betting one of our Herk authorities will be along with a definitive answer. IIRC, all of the late versions I have seen at airshows and armed forces displays had the modern zinc chromate yellow in the flap wells, but those were all USAF aircraft. I'm thinking the early versions had the silver lacquer flap wells. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejet Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) It was glossy pale grey. Not sure what shade however. Edited September 23, 2020 by Sabrejet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
