pierre Giustiniani Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 (edited) Hi Gents I know the subject has been treated but i would like to know if someone can do a reliable synthesis for the colors of: - Interior (cockpit, turret): Raf Grey-green. - Undercarriage bay: Aluminium or Raf Grey-green ? - Undercarriage : Aluminium/black or Raf grey-green/black - Flaps (interior): grey-green. for a Mk.1 or Mk.1f. Do you know where i can find a plan with rivets lines (book, internet) ? Thanks a lots Best regards Pierre Edited April 11, 2019 by pierre Giustiniani
JPuente54 Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 He makes a good point. As an American with a great interest in RAF/FAA aircraft; this would provide a nice guide. Joe
Walter Lindekens Posted April 11, 2019 Posted April 11, 2019 Hi Pierre, Cockpit and fuselage interior for the Blenheim were finished in aircraft grey-green. Bomb bay interior was grey-green also. Not 100% sure about wheel wells and flap interiors but an educated guess would say grey-green as well. That is how ARCO have finished their airworthy Mk I in any case - yes, I know not all restorations can be trusted as far as colours go :). Undercarriage legs on the Mk I where painted black, silver on Mks IV and V. Hope this is of help. Cheers, Walter 1
