I don't usually do A/C anymore, let alone Hleo's, but I am doing a Sea King HC4 Commando Royal Navy Gulf War 2 conversion and need to know the engine bay colour. My resources have turned up NOTHIN!
Any help?

Cheers

Sorry Martin, I've looked through the articles I have on the Sea King but turned up nothing about the engine bay colour. Sorry mate

U.S. Navy Sea KIngs are painted dark grey because the engine bay doors also act as platforms for mechanics.
Hope that helps.

Yeah thanx. I have painted it d.grey, it seems a good a colour as any. The rivet counters will just have to "lump it".
Thanx a bunch anyway guys. The bay can be seen in rivet review.
