Hey Jerry...

 

[Airframes]

Looking good. Which scheme are you doing ?
Not sure if the profiles are correct for either 'Jas' Storrar's aircraft, or Mike Donnet's.
Baron Donnet's had a blue and white striped spinner, and Jas's certainly later at least, had his initials as a code - JAS.

I'm doing H.J.E. Clarke Terry I'm trying to find out about the wheel bay colors.

Sorry for the late reply Jerry.
Although not relevant to your model, here's a correction regarding Baron Donet's aircraft - spinner was blue and red stripes, not blue and white as I accidentally stated in post #173.
Wheel bays during WW2 were clear-lacquered alloy, with the rear wall only (the main spar) in zinc chromate. Insides of the gear doors were the same, although the reinforcing panel on the larger, wheel doors, if fitted, was often in yellow zinc chromate.

Getting color on now.
