I’m building an Italeri 1/35 M36B1 for a group build on a WWII forum.I need to know the interior color of the turret.I was going to paint it olive-drab overall,but if you guys have any ideas or info on this vehicle,I would love to hear it.

Thanks and Happy New Year

Inside the turret walls are OD green, below the turret ring, the area under the hull are white as is the driver’s compartment. The turret floor is OD green as well as many of the fittings within the turret basket.

What color would the fire extinguisher be?

I’ve definitely seen OD fire extinguishers. Look at this amazing photo:

However, in Hunnicutt’s Sherman book, it appears in a color photo that a fire extinguisher inside an M7 Priest is red (more a tabasco colored red than cherry red).

I think you’d be safe with either.

Thanks.I think I’ll go with red just for a spot of color.BTW,that is some awesome workmanship on Missing-lynx.
