Just got mine today and I might start on it.. the instructions don't say what color to paint parts and stuff.. looking at on of the pics above, are the interiors of the doors painted the same three tone camo as on the outside? Just the inside of the doors?

Most of the doors are painted inside in a light green, the same shade as the spare parts come with from the factory.

Thanks, Olivier... I tried to look for interior shots on your site, but I only found one that was kind of clear... So, basically the interior is all light green.. with the seats and dashboard and some of the equipment painted black? Is that correct?

You're right. I have some pictures of the interior in the VB2L walkaround
You have probably more pics at Prime Portal if my memory serves me right.

It is molded with the straps on. So you only can use it in the stowed position inside the VBL.

Yes, there are three rifles fixed in stowed positions to the insides of the three doors.
And I stand corrected.. there are color call-outs in the instructions. I'll start on it today.. and I'll try to take pics as I go.

I got mine the other day too- I'm impressed with it- looks like a great kit. I'm looking forward to building it. I have to say I thought the FAMAS looked a bit out of proportion in some of the earlier shots we saw but looking at it on the sprue I think it looks pretty decent and it should look good stowed inside.
Also- Luis- thanks for those interior pictures- they are excellent.
Hisham- good luck with your build mate, let us know what you think.

The kit number for the VBL is 4603.
The kit number for the AMX 10RCR is 4602.
Is there a kit with number 4601 ?
The prefix is strange for the 1:35 scale.
