Hi all,

Does anyon know, or have any opinions on what colour a WW1 Whippet would have been inside?

I'm thinking of going for a light or mid grey.

Did you see these pics ?

...but IMHO the color doesn't look as "authentic" as in the PrimePortal pics (but maybe it's just me )...

Thanks mate.

It does look like white (or a dirty white) is the colour to go for.

It looks white to me. (If I recall, the heavy on display at Bovington had a white interior too...) bear in mind the engines were not walled off from the fighting compartment in the Whippet, so any oil/fuel leaks, exhaust leaks, etc would get around. And of course the guns would fill the box with residue in no time, so "white" is probably only a relative description for a combat veteran!

It's pretty rusted out, but the Aberdeen Whippet that I photographed has shreds of white paint still visible amongst the rust.
