It doesn't seem like the interior was black, unless you mean some parts like the control panels, etc:

Yeah the Halifax would have been standard British interior green. As Forbes said if you mean for radio boxes, control panels etc then any matt black would do I am sure.

The so called black I am referring is the part like the bomb bay and the, fuselage after painting the interior green

Is XF-1 (or 2) whatever one is "normal" Tamiya black not suitable? That's what I would use. Just a matt black.

The Tamiya "black rubber" is a softer black that might work well.
