Deke Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Any ideas on what color the cockpit and cabin interiors of a C-7 Caribou would be? Since it was manufactured in Canada, I'm assuming FS #36231 may not be the answer. Deke Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Canadian-produced bits we had on our P-3s were indistinguishable from the American parts other than the "Produced in Canada" stickers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sean, Thanks, those are very helpful pictures; I've got a 1/72 Hobbycraft kit in the stash I'm thinking of breaking out. Even though produced in Canada the FS specs still applied.

phantom Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 THe Canadian warplane Heritage muesuem has one. Perhaps Tony has your info. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skidbuggy Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 (edited) I was able to climb up into the flightdeck of the one at the CWHM in Hamilton a couple weeks ago.... I remember the cockpit being the same gray as Twin Otter cockpits are painted in. By looking at some DHC-6 cockpit pictures on Airliners.net, you'll be able to reference the colour to a DHC-4. Good Luck Edited September 10, 2009 by skidbuggy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
