Dassault Rafale Gear Bay colours?

[hrcblade]

I am currently building a 1/48 Rafale and was wondering what colour the gear bays are supposed to be? I think it is either white or aluminium.

 

Any help greatly appreciated

Thanks

Pretty sure they’re a dark shade of Aluminium, by that I mean that they appear darker than the under carriage struts although that could be down to shadows. In general the bay doors are only open during the deployment and retraction of the undercarriage and of course maintenance phases, so not much can be seen in there during normal ground conditions.

Hello,

the bays are very light grey. I used mr hobby H338 FS36495.

Found this site, which has several photos of a Rafale M in deep maintenance, all internal bays and bulkheads appear to be in same colour of what very much looks like flat aluminium.

Thanks for the replys and links guys ... I think from the pics they look grey so think I will just stick with that. They are pretty small so not as open and viewable as other planes.
