I just started DML/Dragon's 1/35 MLRS. Are there any paint manufacturers that make the interior color, or will I have to mix it? Is there an FS number? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The color is called Sea Foam green. No model paint manufacturer make it that I know of. Testors Model Master Pale Green FS# 34227 looks pretty close. Some people think the Pale Green is too dark, but it looks right to me. Tamiya Sky is supposed to be close as well.

Ona side note, the interior of the doors and hatches should be medium green for a NATO camo vehicle, and either medium green or sand for a desert sand vehicle, depends on whether it originally painted NATO camo or sand from the factory..

the interior is green on all of our desert mlrs, the tamiya sky works or model master interior green, with a touch of white works awesome, all the new desert stuff is coming with olive drab interiors, or the "tequila vomit green" as our mechanics call it.....

Don't worry, I got it. I am talking about the interior of the doors and hatches being medium green or sand. They are not the same color as the interior of the cab. The rest of the cab interior is sea foam green whether the vehicle is camo or sand. It is the same as the hatches on a tank. The inside hatch color is the same as the exterior color of the tank, not the same as the white interior of the tank. Now do you follow?

Thanks, guys! The unit I'm building is back from 1995, so I'll probably go with the Interior Green + White recommendation - that looks about right. I'll check out the Tamiya Sky and Sea Foam before I do anything, though. Since I'm color blind it's not as easy for me to mix colors.
