Greets!

I can't recall where I saw a question about interiors but I meant to post this in a timey manner (I didn't). #:-)

Some of our WWII acft companies used different hues for crew compartments.

Testors/Floquil issues a set of these several years ago. I just sought it, unsuccessfully

Found this, though:

Three are listed--excluding panel black.

Hi Rysorne and everyone,

I received a reply from Testors. The kit still exists, but not marketed as "US WW II Interior ACFT Colors". I wrote: I just looked up F590001, then I looked at my set. It, too, is F590001 but there is a difference. It has paint # 205096 listed as INTERIOR GREEN, while on your site the color has the same # but another name.
Just a bit of trivia.

Yeah, I've had IPMS Stockholm bookmarked for a long time. Great site! Thanks for offering it, there are still folks who don't know of that excellent resource.
