Good evening everyone,

I have decided to finally build the Monogram 1/48 scale B-29 before I get to much older. I was wondering if anyone know what colors were used for the interior of the aircraft. I have read that there were colors ranging from interior green to dull dark green, and bare aluminum in the bomb bay. I am planning on building the B-29 (not the B-29A or B), one of the versions with the four gun forward upper turret, and the twin tail guns, without 20mm. cannon.
If anyone has any information or could let me know what interior colors you might have used on any scale B-29 that you might have built, I would appreciate it!

Looking forward to your build, @jaquadis. I have the Monogram B-29 stashed somewhere, so maybe your build will move mine farther up the build queue. I have been inside the flightdeck of a restored B-29, and it was painted the light interior green. I just went to Google and searched for "B-29 flight deck" and found a bunch of photos that all show interior green. Cheers

This should be an enjoyable build for you Kipling, @jaquadis, the kit is really pretty damn good. Just be prepared to do lots of work to get the canopy to fit correctly, if you can. I have viewed a number of pictures of B-29's and most of the color pictures of "original" planes appear to be interior green vs the dark dull green. Unless otherwise documented for your individual plane, it would be your safest bet. The bomb bay were in the examples I have seen left bare aluminum. Things to remember though, B-29's were built at four different production facilities from Washington to Georgia. Variations in colors and productions details are always evident from one production line to the next.
