Kari Lumppio Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Hello! A Finnish colleague who has researched this stuff commented that the Finnish Hurricanes got armour installed in April-May 1940. That is too early for them to be Finnish-made. So probably the green on the armour is also Interior Green. I attach pictures of the back armour..: ... and the curved head armour, both with the Pantone cyan, magenta, yellow and black samples. The greens seem to differ somewhat, head armour being slightly yellowish? Cheers, Kari 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hacker Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 it was not so much the interior green but what was or wasn't painted that colour . l see that the Mk I the tubular frame was painted silver and the gun bay interior but when it comes to the Mk IIC was it the case or was there a change and everything was painted that interior green?
