Couple of questions guys reguarding the Tamiya U.S.M113 Armored Cavalry Assault Vehicle used in Nam, they mention around the back some where about painting the M113 they say the interiors where all painted in a Flat White!
It just doesn't sound right wouldn't it be the same colour as the outside or atleast a baige colour inside?

Cheers

Sea Foam Green - either Tamiya XF21 Sky or XF71 Cockpit Green.

Insides of ramps, hatches etc are the same colour as the outside.

Early M113 interiors were white. I do not think the sea foam green came into use until the M113A1.
