HELP NEEDED Internal painting for Sd.kfz222

[Guest]

Would someone kindly point me in the right direction for the right colour to use on the above. I have read a few posts elsewhere that say the internals are not white but ivory is this the case? If so can anyone give me a very close match or mix combo to get it please any help is appreciated.

Ivory or a very light grey terry that's what ive read on other sites and seen builders do

Thanks Alan

Ivory or off-white is correct Terry. I use white with 20% stone (Humbrol enamels) as below with the turret interior of my Panzer III

I have sorted the colour but now need another question answering. Would the inside walls and the mounting ring for the turret be ivory or panzer grey?

[Guest]

No evidence to prove it Terry, but my feeling is that it would be panzer grey.


Being an open top, a light colour might be visible to aircraft at night.

That was my thinking Patrick but wanted to put it out there in case I was wrong. Thanks for your help it is much appreciated.

Nice work Terry. This is why I closed the hatches on my Tiger, I've discovered it's as much a minefield for tanks as it is for German aircraft colours.
