Hi there

What paint (make and colour) do you recommend for interior colour - i'm particularly looking for a Beaufighter and a Mosquito.

Thanks in advance for your answers

If you prefer to work with enamels, Model Master has "RAF Interior Green". There's also Xtracolor X11 (Interior Grey/Green)

If you prefer acylics, Gunze H312 is a pretty good match. I used it on my 1/24 Spitfire with good effect.

Andy,

The colour your chasing for the Beaufighter and Mosquito interior is what others have mentioned but, is this question to deal with Beaufighter XXI TT as A8-357 ?

If it is for A8-357 it's an RAAF Colour and not the RAF interior {which is to grey}, Humbrol # 80 is the closest model paint too the RAAF colour needed.

Hope this helps,

Rob

Thanks for picking up my deliberate mistake there - yes it is for A8 - 357.

Looks like a trip into the arcane world of smelly enamel for me - i've been using acrylics up to now.

Andy,

I've done some checking in the ranges for a similar match and found these details for Acrylic Paints on Interior Colours for A8-357.

Pactra:- #A50
Vallejo:- #891

FS #34138 for the RAAF's Interior Green, used on the Australian Production of the Beaufighter and Mosquito.

FS #34171 for the RAF's Interior Grey/Green in Acrylics are;

Pactra:- #A117
Vallejo:- 920
Agama:- B10M


Hope this paint ref is helpfull for you.

You may want to look at Xtracolor/Xtracrylix - they do interior greens.
