Hi Gents, I hope everyone is well.

I have some color questions that perhaps someone could help with:

1. For inside the cockpit, is Model Master ''RAF Interior Green'' the correct color? Here is a link to an acrylic version from Tower Hobbies>http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXHK48&P=7 They also sell an enamel paint in the same color.

2. What is the correct color for inside the flap wells? I'd like to use a different color than the bottom to provide some contrast. Were the flap wells ever painted with RAF interior green? I think that would look good, but I don't want to do something that is totally wrong.

Cheers,

-Ed B.

The Model Master color looks pretty good to my eye. Regarding the flaps I'm not certain what was standard on later production Spitfires but early Marks can be found with Interior Green, silver, or just clear laquer over the bare aluminum.
