colour of spitfire cockpit

A friend of mine who lives in Malta is a keen model maker and volunteers at the Malta Aviation Musuem. Great little place if anybody is ever there, I help him research for his model building projects from time to time, usually hitting the books for images etc.

Latest on the bench is the Airfix MK 22/24 1/72 build – the question which I just know that at least a thousand forum members will know the answer to is should the cockpit interier be “cockpit green” and should the wheel wells be silver ?

and, just because I like to tell people…. as a “thanks” for helping with some pictures etc, when I was over in July they let me sit in their Mk IX….. I just like to mention that. A lot….:D;):rolleyes:

i worked for the r.a.f. as a surface finisher (paint sprayer) and painted many types of aircraft including the battle britain flight and the colour of the cockpit is ODENEAL hope this will be of help to you and others
