Just got the newly released verlinden elefant interior. Looks like a pretty good set so far and can’t wait to get started on it, hopefully it will be an excellent fit with the dml kit. I do have a paint question though…what color paint would the interior of an elefant be? Would the fighting compartment superstructure have a different color than the driving compartment? Thanks for any input!

P.S If anyone has any links to interior shots/schematics of an elefant please let me know!
AFV interiors would be painted a very light color to enhance the limited illumination in buttoned up conditions. In the case of German tanks, they used an ivory color (eifenbahn sp?). For schematics, you really need to invest in Achtung Panzer #6, with diagrams of all the Tiger series. I’m almost certain that it includes some interior of Ferdinand/Elefant.
Even if it doesn’t, it’s a great investment.
To spice things up, you can leave a few fittings in primer red or utility grey, I’d say.
Thanx for the input. Does any manufacturer out there make eifenbahn color paint, if not what colors should you mix to best match it? I mainly use tamiya acrylics for armor.
