Mike in Aotearoa Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 OK, I'm officially confused now... I've got Airfix's lovely little Spittie Mk22/24 talking to me from the stash, begging to be built (ok, so maybe that's not normal to most people but it is to me...) What colour were the interiors on these? Should it be interior green or the black associated with the post war aircraft? I can accept black for the FR47, but I ain't so sure on the Mk22/24 MTIA Mike in Aotearoa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desmojen Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 In the photos in my modellers datafile you have a choice between black, grey and interior green. The grey looks like a medium sea grey sort of hue and the one in interior green has been restored. Jen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgar Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 The unrestored 24, at Duxford, has a green interior, and, although, at first sight, the 24, in the RAF Museum, is grey, it was obviously repainted, since it's possible to see areas of green showing through the wear, and the seat shows the standard red, in patches, too. Seafires (which had areas of black as early as the XVII) were built by Westland, but Supermarine stayed with "normal" Spitfires, and even took over some which had been started at Castle Bromwich. I'd stick to green. Edgar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 I would agree. F21 LA198, which is in Kelvingrove Museum in Glasgow, is IGG. I understand that's what they found during restoration at East Fortune. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
