I did a boo boo! I painted the interior flat white, which is correct. Then I started painting the turret interior..oop's! Come to find out it is not white. The instructions say it is #11, but fail to say what color #11 is! I'm sure it is OD green, but i thought I better ask here first. Dont want to repaint the interior 3 times!
Does anyone know the turret interior color of the M36 Jackson ?

TIA,

Garry

I painted mine in Olive drab the same as the exterior.

Thanks for the speedy reply Peter! I thought that would be the color, you just confermed that. Glad I did'nt have it all painted white before the light came on.

Cheers mate,

In my Research for a M8 greyhound I built and for other armored vehicles I plan to build for the allies flat white was used inside for visibility purposes in most areas except for turrent areas or other parts of the vehicle that are open to the sky. In those areas they were painted the same color as the vehicle exterier all the inside of hatches were painted the exterier color so that no flashs of white interier would be seen from recon aircraft and such
