Maybe a little forward and wrong sig, but please help me.
I am building the Acedemy M-36, and is at loss as what colours I shold use inside the turret. From what sources I have it should be white inside the hull, but how `bout the turret floor? white or OD. the walls of turret? upper hull?
If anyone knows, please share your knowledge with me
Thank you very much for your time

OD inside the turret and floor - and I think even the sponsons were OD, leaving just the driver's & co-drivers area in white.

hey,
when building our M-18,i wasn't sure about this or other open topped vehicles.M-8,M10,M-36,etc,so i asked around,and was told that they where white from the factory,and once delivered they could be paint by thier crew,or relied on the canvas cover ,that they came with,crews where also know to lay boards across the opening,to hide the white paint and protection from falling debris.
