IJA interior color

I’m working on a Tamiya Ki-46. Any recomendations on what color to paint IJA interiors? I’ve painted it model master interior metallic blue and it just looks…well…odd. Are there alternatives or do I just need to get over it and deal with it?

Well, I think that the interior metallic blue (or Aotake) is for painting the landing gear wells area, for the Ki-46’s cockpit interior, the Tamiya instruction sheet recommends: 1 part of XF-3 Flat Yellow + 1 part of XF-21 Sky + 1 part of XF-58 Olive Green… Hope this helps.

Here’s a great site for answering your question:

I’m not sure how close it comes to what you need, but Tamiya have a recent (I am not quite sure exactly how recent) addition to the colour range. (IJN) Cockpit Green (XF-71)

I read somewhere that the interiors were stained as opposed to painted,and the tints were blue and or green,hence the metallic.
