I don't know if I would trust Revell's color recommendations for the interior. I would think that by this era, the interior would be FS 36321 Dark Gull Gray. Maybe others out there may know the correct color.

Hi Roy near as I can figure out it is interior green. Tamiya produces no exact match for it. I did find a recommended mix for it here in this thread. The exterior colour for this helicopter seems to have been marine green as well might want to keep that in mind. There are a few builds out there in the web for Revells kit so there's plenty of other people that have built it to learn from.

The interior should be medium gray, not green.
Including the cockpit.

Well if Gino says it's grey then it's grey! There's an odd combination of colours in the last pic Gino has the cockpit been repainted at some point? It appears to be a dark grey and what appears to be olive drab/green on the pilots seat.

The seats could have been repainted or out of another aircraft. It looks like there may be some black paint along the window opening and bottom of the left seat too. Its hard to tell on some of these older birds that have been repainted many times during their lifetime. The original interior color was definitely gray though.
