F 89 cockpit

Sep 11, 2003 2 Replies

Hi I am making the Academy F89J and was wondering if the instructions had the interior colour right for the cockpit. The instructions say to use ADC grey which they also quote for the exterior which I agree with, but surely around the 50's and 60's most cockpits were black??



Any help is much appreciated



All the best and thanks in advance

The cockpit interior should be Dark Gull Gray FS36231 but you might want to lighten it up a bit in 1/72. Definitely not as light as ADC gray, though!

Thanks a lot Al and sorry I was so long in replying, my pc died on me and I had problems getting it back up and running Thanks again and all the best
