What colour is a Valiant's bomb bay?

As the lid says, What colour is a Valiant's bomb bay?

Good question, and there is only one left, and its bomb bay has been closed for as long as I can remember.

The only pic I've ever seen of it showed that it was white, like the outside, but who knows what colour they were while in service.

Airfix suggests aluminium (Humbrol 56), and this pic from an all-white Valiant makes this quite plausible:



Could also be a light grey, though (RAF Light Aircraft Grey, maybe?), or even white - AFAIK the Vulcans had white bomb bays, so this would be plausible for the Valiant, too.

Decided to take the easy way out - closed bomb-bay.

Saves you haveing to put any detail such as bomb racks inside as well

Smart. And a not overseeable reason why I always build mine in flying condition, i.e wheels up.
