Grizzly Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Anyone know the interior colour of the above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The original Kit Builder Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 As far as i know, Mariners were inerior green throughout, with black instrument panels, coamings and electronics. Seat headrests were red/brown with buff or khaki drill cushions. Unfortunately, there are very few colour images of the interior. Mariners were never glamourous enough to attract very much attention from many photographers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Russell Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 The interiors were painted. In b&w pictures it looks like interior green or maybe grey. PM me your email address and I'll send you a few perhaps pictures of the many I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn M Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) After discussing with a Mariner gunner, he recalls the aft section was either aluminum (doubtful due to corrosion) or painted Grey. All the reasearch I've done points to Grey although the "restored" PBM-5A at Pima shows it as interior green. Its a mixed bag and "real" info is sparse. Let me check the "Maintenance and Erection Manual" and "Structural repair Manual" for the Mariner to see what it says.

Ed Russell Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Looking at this video you can see the rear hull interior is a light grey colour and the front interior is an "interior green" colour. This is a post war film but I would think it is likely that these colours are representative of most Marimers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
