I plan to start working on Tamiya's old M2 Bradley and I was wondering about the colour of the interior. Should it be a light green or should it be basically white with just a hint of green. Which is closer to the correct colour?

Thanks

It is a light green called Sea Foam Green. There are several types of paint labeled Sky Type S that are close enough or you can just use your eye and add some drops of green to white until you can match the color.

Here are some interior photos that will give you an idea of the actual color:
Motor Pool. Go to the M2A2 gallery for color pictures.

I'd try and start with a 50/50 mix of Model Master Pale Green FS34227, and White and adjust from there.

Thanks for the help. And thanks for the pics, Robin. What about the undercoat colour.. if I want to make some scratches.

Thanks

From what I remember, I believe that they use a white primer.

As far as scratches, I'd show bare metal.
