Would appreciate help on the fs for the interior of the M1070 cab. The instruction sheet stipulates mr.color h312 but this appears to be far too light. The color for the seats would also be appreciated. Cheers

Thanks Gino. I looked at some pics on the net but different light showed different shades and wasn't happy. Some modellers pics showed a darker green,like nato green, and the seats a khaki drown color. Your feedback looks great to me. Once again thanks.

Haven't tackled my M1070 yet, but I recall seeing some color pics of a "sort-of" darkened version of British WWII Sky Type S..??? (Wikipedia pics)

I thought that this green looked similar to the Interior Green that we see in our M113s..???

I have never seen one with seafoam green on the interior. Always a NATO green color.
