Steven H. McLain Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Does anyone know what the interior of the following aircraft is painted? Lockheed S-3 Viking/ES-3 Shadow: I am looking for the cockpit and rear WSO positions paint colors. I read that it was tan in the WSO area, but it doesn't sound right. Thank You.

Hoops Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Standard grey that's on the interior of just about every Navy aircraft. Probably about Dark Ghost Grey. Cheers, Hoops Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Collin Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Dark-ish Gull Grey. The rear pits and tunnel were also coated in a fine film of vomit, cleaning fluid, spilt coffee and Gatorade, boot scuff marks, impact marks from slamming the computers into working order.....plus there was very little light back there...so some mold or other "growing" things seemed to appear here and there. Not that I would every have done any of the above in my years flying the aircraft. Cheers Collin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DonSS3 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Wasn't the Sensor Operator's area done in that tan/cream color? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BillS Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Not to throw a monkey wrench in the machinery but I thought a beige color was appropriate. I googled "S-3 Viking interior" and several pics came up and they show the consoles for the SENSO/TACCO and some of the trim work is a beige or buff. Some of the avionics by contrast are DDG. The pilot's area is DDG for sure but I remember crawling in one where the curtain between compartments was also that color. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Collin Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Check out these reference photos and match the buff color to what you see. The rear pits were plastic covered with this baked on beige/buff color to them...and it pealed off a lot. The NASA photo below shows that pretty well. This guy got the colors pretty well matched: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
