After five hours sleep last night
Allen it could be an impulse drive with deuterium fusion reactors for all I know
Glad you like it
Tim. Sorry to here your bench is still in a box. I hope you get the sale soon
I only twigged it because of the Panzer I build
Jim. I would have been the same as anyone else otherwise
Okay then -
Si,Rick, Allen and Paul. Many thanks for putting your head above the parapet and giving me an opinion on the interior colour. As there are two camps with differing opinions I have to let someone down so apologies for that.
I have obviously done my own research also. I have 7 books on the Panzer I and its variants and countless photos. At no time have I come across a passage of text or a definitive picture to answer the question. Therefore it is down do summation. There was one photo in Achtung Panzer with a blown up Bison and a small section of the internal wall showing. It was certainly light rather than dark.
I have been inspired by Gary Edmundson's Osprey book on his Bison conversion and Dario Risso on his Dragon build. One has used Elfenbein and the other Panzergrau on the walls.
I liked Allen's comment about little of the interior is seen once the gun is on. This is very true with the photos that I have seen, to the point of, how on earth does the driver get in?
.
However Paul's final comment about low light conditions swung it for me. The Bison crew had little room to put ammo above them. Usually three on the fenders and one under the gun. Therefore they stowed as much as they could in the lower hull and therefore light would be a premium if dealing with high explosives.
So I thank you all for your help and I have decided to go for Red Oxide floor and Elfenbein ceiling and walls
I would like to say it does concern me somewhat the amount of Bison (Buffalo) recipes that came up when doing my research on Google
Many thanks to one and all. If you still have an opinion please feel free to express it
