Hi there

I have just stated building Dragon 6331 Marder III H.
What colors should I use for the interior ?
Inside the gun shield I will use the same Dunkelgelb as on the outside. But would the Marders also be painted that color in the drivers compartment ?
What colors was the gearbox, seat’s ect. painted in ?

Regards

Even though these pics are in b&w they may be helpful anyway :

According to the author, the driver's and hull machine gunner's area was painted either white (Czech tradition) or light ivory (Elfenbein-- German tradition).
