I have some photos of a restored plane in a museum (I think in the National Museum of the Air Force) that has steel gray on most of the cockpit, and a darker color on the floor and a green control stick. They supposedly used the same colors that they found when they were originally restoring the plane. I have seen other photos of restored planes with this green color being closer to the interior green used in WW2 US planes. I don't know. With these planes often being painted with whatever paint they had in the factory, you could probably make a case for painting the interior just about anything. I plan to use AK Real Colors A-14 Interior Steel Gray for the cockpit, perhaps along with their interior green. The plane I plan to build was a late war plane, so perhaps the paints used were closer to their tech order.

First round of "normal" puttying, some mismatch glitches under fixation, exhausts ready...

You are really making good progress, Spiros @fiveten
Did you cut the elevators by the way. I noticed they are lowered at a previous stage already.

Cave man method, Spiros (@fiveten)? I myself have been known to apply some "helpful" pressure at times. Looks great.

Thanks my friend @gblair!
Upon slight forcing, the plastic seemed eager to give in at exactly the place I wanted to. Of course the experience is tad frightening, truth be told, until, in relief, a good result is achieved 🙂

@gblair, agree with that, George. I think I will go for the steel grey to be on the safe side.

I think I will probably leave them streamlined, Spiros (@fiveten) and John (@johnb). Throughout my life, I have always been someone who can watch 100 other people do something and get away with it, but it is a massive fail when I do it. On the other hand, what's the worst that can happen? :o)
