I have several Valentine kits in the stash and I'm trying to find out what colors the transmission, radiators, and compartment are. Pictures would be very helpful. I have not had any luck finding any.

As a rough guide;
Transmission: medium grey
Radiators: black
Compartment: silver (aluminium) or white

The two recessed panels either side of the radiators should be the same as the interior. Note that these colours are 'as new' and they would have been coated in a thick layer of dust, dirt, oil and fuel in a very quick time.
