Hi all

Quick one, colour suggestions for the area behind the cockpit and under the canopy?

Interior green or camo? What do the instructions state?

I would also go for interior green, just took a look at an instruction-page for a 1/72 IB, that one says "humbrol 78 Cockpit Green Matt"

was trying to decide between the interior green or a dark charcoal grey.

Edit - Camo it is :surprised:

Is that a photo of a restored plane? Then you can’t trust it if an authentic finish is your aim :smiling3:

However, this photo from Wikipedia shows that the area under the canopy simply follows the camouflage of the rest of the plane:
