Hey Tank Destroyers!

I'm working on my Marder III H again and have sprayed it panzer grey all over. There is gonna be a white camouflage over it.
But I was just wondering now if the interior of an open topped tank destroyer differs from the outside colour? I know German tanks were often white on the inside but I doubt if the Marder III was...

Suggestions or answers welcome!

for all open top vehicles interior would be painted the same color as the exterior at the factory. On some 251's the drivers area was in white.

Hi John.
That was actually what I was thinking also, but I was not sure about it. So, grey it is gonna be inside!

Thanks for your help!

Hi Paul.

John's right on the money. I recently did a Marder II, same scheme (grey with winter camo) as you're doing and all my references indicated the same interior and exterior colors.

cheers,
Jurgen.
