I'm making a Martin B-10B 1/72 Williams Bros, but doesn't exist any reference to the colour of the cockpits and wheels whells. Can someone please help me?
Thank you.
Ps - sorry about my writting

There are a couple of photos of the cockpit HERE. It looks like it might well have been basically aluminium, with black consoles etc. I'll have a look in Dana Bell's colour notes tonight to see if he mentions it.
Hope this helps

Well, for the first time I'm going to make a "museum plane", very shiny and clean, so it's going to be the American it's more colourfull then the Dutch. Sorry the only plane that I'm going to paint with olivedrab is a Boeing B-29A.

Hi again Rui
Sorry - I couldn't find any more colour info specific to the B-10B. I've read that a lot of inter-war US interiors were aluminium prior to the experiments in the late '30s mixing zinc chromate and black, which lead to "interior green" - so I'd go for aluminium...
All the best
