Hi Everyone,
I am building the Revell 1/48 PBY. I want to model it as a Black Cat. I have a problem though, I do not know what color the interior should be? Is it green zinc chromate?
I started thinking if it was used for night missions, maybe they changed the interior color. Any and all help will be greatly appreiciated!
Thanks,
William
While not 100% sure I don’t see any reason why the interior color would be changed from the standard.
I know, I am 99% that it would have stayed the same but, that 1% is killing me!
Unless you’re building it for a contest where the judges are real hardnosed about accurate color, I wouldn’t worry about it. Relax and enjoy the build and if possible, post pictures when it’s finished.
Seems like you had that same Idea on what to do with your 1/48 PBY as I have,
Got any idea which one in particular you want to make?
I’m quite a fan on the subject but I havened really start any research on the subject since I don’t have the intention on building it soon, got any cool stuff to share?
With regards, Ninetalis.
This article does not cover the PBY specificaly, but I think you would be just fine with Interior Green

Lots of pics of Black Cats here, but being B&W there is no definitive answer
