A question for the Stirling experts…

[tomprobert]

Evening all,

 

I’m slowly inching towards painting my 1/32 Stirling and I’ve a question regarding the colours of the flaps. 
 

In the image below, it looks as if the section of the flap hidden by the wing when retracted is a different colour - any ideas? I’m considering interior green primer, or is it just fresher paint protected by the wing? I can’t decide? 
 

I can’t find anything definitive from other pictures - Megas Tsonos’ mega 1/48 build he has done this area camo and I imagine he’s done his research - or did it vary between aircraft. 
 

Any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated…

I'd say they're the same colors, just dirtied up a bit in the flap well.

I think Camo dirtied up.

Cheers, guys - camo it is then, with some dirtying up around the edges. That's what my gut was telling me, so thanks for confirming.
