You could try mixing a little bit of black to Tamiya Yellow Green to make Interior Green, which was the way it was done before it was standardized as Interior Green

Hi,

The actual mix, according to the P-47 T.O., is one part black to one part zinc chromate.

tried the mix's and came to a conclusion that 1 part flat yellow to 2 parts olive drab is spot on when using the old gunze pot i used up. And if its a few shades out i'll just use a wash either way. Cheers all the same guys.
