Hi everyone,
Working on Trumpeters 1/32 F4U-4, has anyone worked out the colour system for the cockpit on the Corsair yet? All the research I can come up with has totally different schemes for the same aircraft. I have not been able to find one picture of the cockpit in B/W or colour.

Regards

Andy,

Try this, it shows a couple of shots inside a cockpit, not clear but maybe usable.

Credit William Reese. F4U-4 Corsair. Cockpit: FS 34151 Interior Green. The area above the consoles was black. Inside of the engine cowling was Zinc Chromate Yellow, Interior Green or possibly Flat Black with the area ahead of the cylinder seal in Glossy Sea Blue. All other visible areas were Glossy Dark Sea Blue similar to the F6F-5. Landing Gear: Aluminum Lacquer or Light Gray. After overhaul aircraft could have had the landing gear, wheel centers and wheel bays painted Glossy Sea Blue.
