Hi all,
I am building Revell’s (Matchbox) 1/72 Handley-Page Heyford model kit and on the way try to improve the cockpit and fuselage interior a little bit. The issue which currently worries me is/are the interior colours – canvas, framing, forward cockpit … ?
I am used to cockpit green and black on the WWII bombers but have no idea about the pre-war (night) bombers.
Any kind of help is highly appreciated. 🙂

A couple of interior pics, from the Profile Publication book.
I hope this is useful.

Thanks Don! The first two links were the leads I was trying to get. 🙂
However, Gentlemen, I found yet another nut to crack:
Is there ANY (photographic) evidence that Heyfords actually had been repainted from NIVO to Dark Green/Dark Earth camouflage, as suggested by the Machbox instructions, at all? Apart from several built model kits I haven’t found a single picture neither on the internet nor in my sparse references on paper yet. :confused:

Hi all,
sorry, for dragging this thread up again.
I am working on the Heyford model kit on and off and am stuck with the forward fuselage. Apart from some cockpit detail (like the throttle quadrant – sadly it seems the RAFM still did not manage to photograph their relic 🙁 ) especially the bomb sight worries me.
Which type was in use with the Heyford? How did it work? Are there any pictures or drawings around? The only picture of a Heyford bomb sight I know is this, but honestly I do not find it very helpful for my purposes …
