If it's the Vietnam era Camouflaged F105G the underside should be light gray not silver. I believe that the gear and bays were white. 

I believe there were some Fs produced in overall silver. I don't recall seeing any Gs in anything but standard SEA colors

FS36622 is correct for the underside. Here are some shots of a few G model 105's taken at Cannon AFB Clovis New Mexico in the mid 80's. It still maintains the SEA camouflage. Note is the left main gear door with what appears to be a very dirty aluminum paint color interior. Unit from the Georgia ANG

Next few are a D model from the Air Force Reserve unit Carswell AFB Fort Worth Texas. These are of the wheel wells.

Actually all Fs entered service in silver: the camouflage started being introduced in Summer 1965, a few months after the last F-105F (and last F-105 of all variants) left the production line in January
