Hi,
having read this excellent review of Dragons 234/1 I couldn't hold - and bought one.
As far as you con see through the turret at the inside I'm not sure about the colour of the interior:
Is it still white / ivory or body colour? Have there been changes due to the end of the war ( allied air power )?
The same question about the Marder III/H, where there is a lot more to see of the inside:
Still ivory or body-colour??

Thanks for your experienced answers!!

Cheers
Steffen

Re the 234/1, you can't go wrong with RAL 8012 Rotbraun. Re the Marder III/H, the fighting compartment would be painted the same base color as the vehicle itself, that being RAL 7028 Dunkelgelb. Open top vehicles would never have the exposed areas painted in Elfenbein. Bomb/bullet magnet.

Despite this absolutely STUNNING logic, modelers continue to paint open hatches white. It's a head shaker. But you still see it ALL THE TIME.
