Edwin Parks Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) Can someone advise on the interior colours of a WW2/1948 AFV, in particular a Marmon Harrington MkIV armoured car? During my service 1970ish the inside of our FV432 were silver painted and any seating etc was olive green. Would that have been right for end of war AFVs?

Kingsman Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I believe that silver would be correct. However, the open-top turret is likely to be painted the exterior colour inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwin Parks Posted March 27, 2019 Author Share Posted March 27, 2019 Well certainly the flap that turns back would be hull coloured with green seats. I haven’t decided if it will be open or closed. If it’s closed there isn’t much point in taking a lot of time over the invisible internal detail. Anyway silver it is elsewhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Starmer Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 The Marmon-Herrington IV is gloss white. The museum example at Saxonwald, Johannesburg when I was in it before restoration, which I think is now taking place. All the cars of that series are there and I was able to examine all of them closely about 10 years ago, courtesy of the technical curator. If you holiday near there it is well worth a visit.
