I believe that IJA hull interiors were an aluminized silver. BUT what about floors, transmission housings, seats, gun breeches etc.? Any ideas out there?

Ordnance was supplied in Ordnance Brown. Can't help on the rest, unfortunately.

Joe,

Thank you! I did not know about Taki.

BGC, here are interior pix of a Chi-Ha at Aberdeen. All rusty but still interesting: http://www3.plala.or.jp/takihome/ShinhotoAberdeen.html

I emailed the author of the Straggler books. Maybe he can shed some light.

This website is fantastic! It's in English too. Great stuff for IJA modelers.
