The interior colour at that time was black all over.
The seat had a horrible tan brown leather back pad .
The floor had stainless kick boards.
The instrument panel was non standard and had a lot of electrical nav aids.
These were all removed in 2004/2005 and the cockpit totally stripped back to bare metal.
The panel was replaced to stock 1950s US Navy.
It was repainted in the correct 1950s US Navy scheme of Interior green seat,floor,stick and pedals and the side walls up as far as the side consoles.
From the consoles up to the canopy rails was Black as was the instrument panel and armour plate.
I used standard FS paint numbers and the F8F maintenance manual for reference, along with period photos.
