ive got a b-17, the instructions say to paint the interior aluminum and the panels chromate green, and looked at referance pics of a b-17 with the walls green and the panels green also, does it depend on the specific version? and should i re-paint the interior green?

Frank

Frank, the US bombers were often not primed inside since they weren't expected to last much in combat!

Just leave it that way, and if someone bothers you witht the colours, answer MFW : My Freakin' Model!

lol, il call it my artistic touch lol


Frank

Ollie' is right, don't worry about it. The reference pic yo saw was probably a restored aircraft anyway? They are not always accurately painted.

Ciao Frank,
Good for you! Take your time. At your age, you have another 80 years to finish your kit stash. Imagine what the hobby will be like then. I'm sure a Trumpeter 1/1 kit will sell for about $6,000.
Ciao for now
