what colour washes would you folks suggest for the interior of Us planes with a chromate green interior

I use a dark brownish/dull green usually - like RLM 70 black green or the darker version of olive drab.

sometimes i follow that with a much thinner and specifically placed wash of black or black mixed with burnt umber or burnt sienna, depending on my mood and the situation.

I usually use thinned Tamiya X-19 Smoke for all cockpits as a wash, i use it for wheel wells often too. It looks a bit heavy handed at first, but when it's matted down and the cockpit closed up it seems about right to me.

I prefer to overstate cockpit wash/drybrushing effects otherwise it disapears when everything is closed up and you look through the clear parts into the darker interior. And really, if an effect is going to just disapear then you may as well save time and not do it at all!

I'd use preshading and postshading method:

1. airbursh black first

2. airbrush chromate green interior next

3. airbursh chromate green interior lighter shade (heavilly thinned so it could be only visible on the edges)
