JimC Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 (edited) Hello, everyone... I have the 1/48 Signifer JRF-5 Grumman Goose and need to know the colors of the interior to get started. The instructions call for 'Light Fawn' but that doesn't strike me as a color that the US Navy would use in the interior of a Navy aircaft. Any help here appreciated. Also, are there any out-of-the-bottle acrylics for the blue/blue/white tri-color scheme? And, of course, there's one more question...the exhausts on top of the engines (I think that's what they are)...are they some kind of rust color, or are they a reddish color? They show kind of a weathered 'copper' or 'rust' to me. Thanks again...I want to get started on this soon... Jim Edited October 18, 2009 by JimC Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A-4Silverfox Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 (edited) The interior colors of the areas aft of the cockpit would have been painted with an off-white or cream color, as many of the Goose were used as transport aircraft. The exhaust colors would be a dirty brown or dirty rust color on the exterior of the exhaust pipe. Edited October 18, 2009 by A-4Silverfox Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DonSS3 Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I wouldn't paint the exhausts with a "rust" color. I'd paint them a burnt steel color and then maybe add a few touches of rust here and there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jrallman Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I did the interior of my goose in bronze green since grumman planes from that time period used bronze green as their interior paint. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
