Hello All,

I am working on building the Bishop MK1 and I am looking for some pics of the turret interior as well as the valentine engine compartment or the whole interior as well.

Also what color did the British paint their armor interiors in.

Any help will be most appreciated.

Cheers,

Thom

Thom -

I was having the same problem. This reference is good on the subject:

I’ll send some drawings sent to me via PM, as well.

Thom;

The email hasn’t arrived yet. But to answer another part of your question, the British used a flat aluminum paint for the interior of their own built armor vehicles. This looks almost like white in B&W pictures. That practice supposed was to have stopped and they switched to white paint either late in WWII or post war.
