Hi all,

It is unlikely that the interior would have been repainted from the colour in which it left the factory, so I would suggest that you go with the colour appropriate to the production date of the version you are building.

I found these photos online. Looks like the interior is same as the exterior.

Thanks !

Yes in green option it's the same colour exterior and interior.

But when painted in sand colour I suppose the interior should stay in green.

Vehicles came from Europe and was sent to North Africa. They were painted on the field on sand colour. I doubt they dismounted seats and so on to paint the interior.
After the North african campaing the 8Th Army moved to Sicily, Italy and the kept their last colour used in the desert.

So I'm quite sure the interior was still in green.
