A black instrument panel is probably correct and by the time production was taken over for military use, the interior green or other similar colors that Grumman was using would be appropriate. Pre-war everything was mostly for the civilian market so the interior could be a myriad of colors depending on what the future owner wanted, just like when you go to buy a new car today.

I agree that insides made in white leather surely are not in any relation to original insides (one can find such in net, but I did not post them). If photos I copy-paste are prohibited I left just one figure which I think is close to original colours and which I will do when I do Goose Cheers J-W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ventura11 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I have built the smaller Grumman Gosling. I found an interesting article on IPMS Stockholm: "Interior colours of US Aircraft 1941-1945". As il was built by Grumman I thought that the dark bronze green or interior green were two suitable alternatives. As interior green was at hand I used it, thinking that for a late production aircraft this was the better choice. Kind regards, Paolo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
