Help required.
Does anyone have any idea of the colours used for the underneath of the main wings.
Is is White and Silver or Light Grey and Silver.
Photo attached so you can seen why I cannot work it out. I suspect it is Silver and White stripes.

I really think its reflection on the natural metal panels under the wings.

However here is a nice photo that may or may not help you, zoom in for a bigger pic.

Re SAAF C-160Z Transall. Can anyone advise if the ones delivered to the SAAF had the antenna as well as lumps and bumps on the underneath of the fuselage like that of the French Air Force ones. Asking as I am trying to get this aircraft kit built as close as possible to the ones as delivered to the SAAF in the White/Silver schemeSee pic as supplied in the 1/72 Revell kit below:

I wonder how many of those lumps and bumps are post delivery mods. Theuns's photo shows late camo therefore late mod state. Would be good to get access to a flight manual which will define the SAAF Mods.
