Spitfire colors

Post by Mike00 »

I could use a little help. I am going to do a kit that is outside of my comfort zone, it is an Airfix 1/48 scale Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IIa. The instruction sheet is not clear on any interior colors. What colors should I use for the cockpit and wheel wells. I looked online but have not found what I'm looking for. Please HELP!

From what I have seen, a close colour would be Tamiya XF71 Cockpit Green (IJN). Whether this is a 100% accurate I wouldn't like to say for definite. Hope this helps. - By the way the instrument panel is black with white instrumentation.
