Does anyone have any idea what the interior colors of a Savoia Marchetti S.M. 81 might be?

Yes! There are some color pix of a restored/preserved one in Italy. I am not home right now so I can't send you the link, but someone esle here might. Give me a few days otherwise.

Hmmm... I have an old magazine at home, and it seems that Italian aircrafts in the WW2 had the interior painted in a light blueish green, like the one shown here...

Hi Giacomo -
You have been extremely helpful. But, what is Molak 123? The Humbrol 123 is available from Squadron.
Thanks again,
Steve
