    Interior green or camo? What do the instructions state?

        I would also go for interior green, just took a look at an instruction-page for a 1/72 IB, that one says "humbrol 78 Cockpit Green Matt"

          was trying to decide between the interior green or a dark charcoal grey.

          Edit - Camo it is :surprised:

            Is that a photo of a restored plane? Then you can’t trust it if an authentic finish is your aim

            However, this photo from Wikipedia shows that the area under the canopy simply follows the camouflage of the rest of the plane:
