F-15 interior colour question


Recommended Posts

G'day people,

 

I have a question regarding the forward avionics bay (FAB) colours. I have the Verlinden Lock-On No.4 for the F-15C and it has a colour pic showing the FAB as a metallic green/blue colour similar to  Bay 5. I know that the Bay 5 colour can vary due to fiscal year build, which changed over from the green/blue to white around FY 80. Some people have started that Bay 5 was repainted following MSIP but I do not think that this was true. Some jets may have had their bay repainted but the majority retained their original paint colour post MSIP.

 

My question is:

 

Did the FABs also follow the same practice?

 

I am building a 65th Aggressor Sqn F-15C with an 80+  s/no,

 

cheers,

 

Pappy

They were still metallic green on the C's D's and E's at Elmendorf and Mountain Home when I was stationed at those bases. So those were all 84-91 models. The only white avionics bays I have encountered have been on F-16's and F-35's.
