.... Also was the cargo bed area repainted white to match the exterior on the UN scheme or was it left green?

Anybody know a good interior color for the cabin walls? Also was the cargo bed area repainted white to match the exterior on the UN scheme or was it left green?

Thanks for the compliment, Ryan. Don't make me blush .... Vallejo equivalent would be 71250 Bronce Green RAL 6031.

I would say it's some kind of green underneath ....

Ryan, what time period will your Leopard 1 be in? Before 1980 or after? Most Leo 1 have had their times already by the early 1980's, when the Leopard 2 was introduced in 1979. They were all painted in Gelboliv RAL 6014 from the beginning, only when they came to depot maintenance after 1980 they got the new NATO 3-tone camo with Bronzegrün RAL 6031. So it's up to you ....

Hadn’t given it much thought, trying to understand my paint purchases. I will need Vallejo 71.250 for my German Leopard 2 campaign build and not Tamiya NATO Green correct? Would Vallejo 71.016 work for the earlier German Green?

The antennas are from the kit and look like tree branches compared to the brass made AM antennas I use now ....

Thanks Peter! It was my 2nd ever built Leo so I made a few mistakes but it still looks fine to me and has seen some expos so far. The antennas are from the kit and look like tree branches compared to the brass made AM antennas I use now ....

Ryan, I don't know about Tamiyas NATO Green because I don't use it but with Vallejo 71250 you'll be right. Concerning Yellow Olive I would say that Vallejo 71016 is close enough. I just googled (would you say that?) for Vallejo RAL 6014 and this is one result:

Personally I always use Revell Aqua No. 42 Gelboliv for that, but I don't think you'll get it in the US easily. I painted the above Leo 1 with that colour.
