EPinniger Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 I'm currently building a 1/32 Tiger Moth (old Matchbox kit) as a RAF WW2 trainer and am not entirely sure about the interior colours. There is a colour guide in the instruction booklet but 1970s Matchbox kits aren't very reliable where accuracy is concerned. I've done some searching on Google and this is the best I can find, which clearly shows the interior colour to be Interior Green. However I'm not sure about the colours of the rest of the interior - floor, seats, bulkheads, etc. Were they also green, or black, varnished wood, etc.? Similarly, I'm not sure if the interior of the forward fuselage/engine cowling would be green or unpainted metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dric Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Hello, just my 2 cents opinion interior "non fabric" parts in "interior green". Interior fabric in a red brik (as for a Swordfish by example) Instrument panel like this Tiger Moth instrument panel, or maybe in wood. And for interior pictures Inetrior details Hope this help Cheers Dric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vernon Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Lousy picture I know, but this is a Thai Tiger Moth in in the RTAF Museum in Bangkok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EPinniger Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 Many thanks - the Cybermodeler.com link is just what I need, it has some good photos of the engine and airframe as well as the cockpit + instrument panels. Will post some photos of the Moth later when I've finished the cockpit interior! The only thing I'm not sure about is the seats. The kit has what appear to be standard metal "bucket" seats as found in many WW2 fighters. Were they actually like this in RAF Tiger Moths, or is this another trademark Matchbox error?
