This has certainly become my favorite kit du jour. It'll be interesting to see what yo do with it. Hopefully you are no further along with the build - the front filler pipe, part K31, should be removed.
It appears you've already begun painting and weathering the interior. The original light green color of the interior is very close to what you want, not grey. However, the removable panel in the rear center of the floor is a light to medium grey.
