Hi Gang,I`m now just starting on Revell`s AH-1 G Cobra and i was wondering what colours were used in the interior - not only in the cockpit but also inside the fuselage ?.
I got two off E-Bay - both had bits missing so two WILL go into one but lets just say,being generous,that Revell`s colour guide leaves much to the imagination so any help or pointers would be most welcome.

Most interior surfaces were medium gray; sidewalls, instrument panel, floors, window frames, etc. The instruments themselves were flat black with white lettering and usually orande indicator needles. The inside fuselage was primed in zinc chromate green.
