Hi. What's the right interior colour for Tamiya M1025 Humvee used during Desert storm in 1991? Desert yellow or NATO green?

NATO Green. I didn't see any painted sand on the inside.

Matthew is correct. Initial production HMMWV's had CARC green interiors.

Thanks a lot Matthew & Brent.
Can you tell, how the bodyframe and other parts under chassis were paint?

The frame and suspension parts are painted Flat Black and I guess the lowerbody, wheel wells and engine hood is also painted
NATO green.
