I am putting a 251 german 1/2 track in my RMG diorama and am going to paint the exterior in the dark yellow with green camo patters (sorry the exact name escapes me now).

My question is - what color would the interior be? Would it be field gray or the dark yellow?

Thanks

slodder,
you would be accurate for eithewr color. You can impose the fact that the vehicle was painted in the field depot w/ the Gray color inside, or that it was painted at the factory dessert yellow inside and out. either way is possable. The Fox

The interior should be dk. yellow. The dark gray had not been used as a camo color since Feb 1943. Additionally, all areas that are visible from the outside would be in the dk. yellow instead of the interior off white.

May I refer you to the "panzer facts" link @ missing-lynx.com. Article on German Vehicle painting by Thomas Jentz and Hilary Doyle. Two researchers in the field of GERMAN equipment. Make your own conclusion. Enjoy.
