 | Hangar camouflage? Bit of a weird question, but were british aircraft hangars camouflaged and if so, what sort of colours and patterns were there?

| wow! I just need to know about the sides of it because I've put one of my models in a box with a "hangar" wall behind it and wondered if I need to paint it. I'll post a pi when it's done

| What type of hanger is it? I don't think many(if any) were painted, I know that there were a lot with just the concrete or brick on display. There are alot of "C" Type hangars down my way and none of them show signs of the sides being painted.
