Just a quick question on the M10 tank destroyer and the M20 armored utility truck, what was the color of the interior. On the manual for the M10 (from AFV club) it indicates white and yet I see some models having an olive drab interior. As for the M20 (from Tamiya) it states olive drab as the interior and yet I see pictures of it in white.

So my question is: What color should the interior of the M10 and the M20 be?!

Thanks’

On the M10, I believe the correct way to do it is this:

Turret interior all Olive Drab.
Floor of vehicle Olive Drab....side walls of hull white.

The M20 probably the same...floor olive drab but sides of interior white (possibly?)

Robert has it correct. The stuff that can be seen through the open top is in the exterior colour (OD) but whatever is truely an interior surface will all be white. The interior surfaces of hatches on the M10 & M20 will also be OD.
