What was the interior colors of the Mig-21 and Mig-17. Both are going to be North Vietnamese versions.
It looks kind of like a turqouise color, but I could be wrong.

If at all possible please let me know the mixture(s) in enamel terms.

Thhanks for helping.

Hi Chip,
I believe you are right the interior is a blue green colour. I couldn't give you the paint mix, all I can say is the Xtracolour have it in their range No X629 Interior Blue/Green Matt. If you are not to desperate and can wait a couple of days I could try and match it for you

the colour of the interior is a grey/blue to green/blue (humbrol 79) and almost to duckegg blue (Humbrol 23).
As above Xtracolour and Agama do a russian cockpit green.
The seat colours varied enormously from the same as the cockpit to blacks and greys.
Reference is the key for all the above, cockpit and seat. The variation is obvious in each aircraft. You cannot go wrong. I painted my MiG-21 MF in my own mix of blue/green and matched it to photos.
