Probably a strange request but does anyone know the interior colour of David and Marks superb Rapide please.
Reason being is that Airfix have just re-released the old Heller kit in these colours and I know you can’t see much in this scale but at least you can see the colours. I’m guessing its interior green but what about the seats and floor?
Thanks all.

Thanks for that James, just what I was looking for!. Cheers
Don’t think I’ll bother with the map though!

Hi Keith,
You are in luck. Mark Miller very kindly showed me over the aircraft at Duxford at the end of 2004, and I’ve a bunch of interior shots.

Note you’ll need to make a 1/72 Scottish Airways 1944/5 timetable to go in the seat back. 😀
I can’t tell you what the FS colours are, but you can see for yourself, on this thread I’ve started here on Plane Talk. If you send an e-mail to de Havilland Support, I’m sure Mark can tell you the names of the colours.
Cheers!
