Hi Christopher (@christopher): I have been doing some looking around online. No color photos to be found, but a lot of info in discussion groups. All sorts of differing info on colors. The forward interior is apparently cockpit green, and the rear is either cockpit green or aluminum. Depending on which discussion group you are in, the wheel wells are either interior green, aluminum, or dull red. I like the way the red looks, so I will probably go with that. You won't see much of the interior, so I will leave it interior green. Thanks for the info.

Hi John (@johnb): I really like the way this one looks. It will slow down a little as I start working on the F-104. :o)

Hi George (@gblair)

Wellesley interior photos are rare but being a Vickers aircraft it was similar to the Wellington. RAF linen fabric was coated with a reddish dope before the outer coat was applied and normally left unpainted on the interior hence the red finish. The geodesic framing was aluminium (I've photos of the production line if you're interested). Wooden and metal panels were RAF grey green but the wooden floor (not the cockpit) was left unpainted - any wood colour would do. The wheel wells were also grey green and the auxiliary tanks in the wheel wells were aluminium as was the undercarriage.

I hope this helps

Christopher

Hi Christopher (@christopher): Thanks, all of this helps. Doing stuff based on 80 year old black and white photos is tough. By the way, I found the outline of the bomb-aimer's windows on the belly of the fuselage. The outline is very faint, but probably enough to use to cut the windows out. I have the Warpaint guide for the Wellesley, which is proving more and more valuable.
