BillS Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Do any of you guys know interior colors of this jet. I’m thinking black with a green floor, pedals etc., seat structure black but no clue or cushions. I’m also guessing gloss sea blue gear wells with silver struts. Will you all clarify this for me?

jpk Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Do a search for the Naval Museum's photo Banshee. The cockpit photos should pretty much reflect what the fighter's colors are. The museum did a good job of restoring the photo Banshee. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tailspin Turtle Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 The interior of the Naval Museum's F2H-2P is all black, including the ejection seat. That isn't consistent with the cockpit paint specification of the time but it may not be incorrect. See http://tailhooktopics.blogspot.com/2015/04/cockpits.html The landing gear was painted aluminum. The wheel wells were probably zinc chromate green. The interior side of the landing gear doors were red, another McDonnell peculiarity.

That's an F2H-3 or 4, which was painted to a different cockpit standard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
