I am doing a Mosquito and need to know how close is ModelMaster Green Zinc Chromate to the cockpit interior color that the RAF used. It calls for Interior Green (FS34151), how close is that to the Zinc Chromate? Do I need to darken or lighten it any? Or should I use Humbrol 78?
I would hate to run back to the hobbyshop again LOL
Thanks in advance for any answers.

Its not very close in my opinion. Model Master makes an RAF Interior Green. But if you have to, lighten the Zinc Chromate Green with some white and I think that would be close, if not just a little off to the real RAF Interior Green.

Hi Chappy. I've used MM RAF Interior Green for the cockpit, but I've also used Humbrol 78. I've found that there is little difference between the two.
I'm not an expert on Zinc Chromate colour, but I would guess it's not very close to the RAF interior green. I would go with the Humbrol 78.

I found a bottle of Pactra Interior Green in my stash too, I will probably go with the Humbrol though. Thx guys.
