Hello, I'm working on my heller 1/100 scale 1964 concorde project, but I have difficulties figuring out what color I need for the inside cowling. I know part of it need to be black, but I'm not sure for the rest.
Can anyone tell me what color I can use for this part? It seem to me be a metal yellow but I'm not sure.
Thanks for your answer!

Re: inside color of the concorde prototype engine cowling?
Having been involved with the aircraft at BA from 1997-2003, I should be very familiar with them, however as you probably know, the prototype aircraft were very different, to the point I would call the 'Prototypes' more Technology Demonstrators, the the two pre production airframes the prototypes, just my opinion.
If it's the first two prototypes, even the excellent http://www.concordesst.com website only has detailed pics of those aircraft in the museums, so the parts you are interested in are usually covered or not not easily seen in detail.
Then I had a thought, when these aircraft first flew, newsreels alongside ads in cinemas were still a thing, shot on 16mm film so much clearer than TV footage of the time, Pathe made many hi quality aviation related films from the 50's through to the 70's.

Maybe these may help?
At various times in the test program likely there would be some markings there to aid photography.
TV and about the first British Concorde test pilot, though plenty of footage of the prototype too;
