Cockpit Interior Paint Color of Me 410 at RAF Museum Cosford ?
« on: December 17, 2022, 08:29:40 AM »
Does anyone have a FS # or a hobby paint match for the Interior of the Me 410 at Coford  ? The color pictures in the WWP  "In Detail Special no.1"  It shows it as a bluesih/green definitely not the 02 in the wheelwells. I also seem to recall seeing a similiar color in a He 162 that was being restored by the French company that did the Halberstadt.

Any all all help will be most appreciated.

In theory the cockpit should be RLM 66. I would expect gear and weapons bays to be 02. Cosford is about a 45 minute drive away for me. I may have photos of the 410 so if you want to pm me your email I can have a look next week.

Hello Simon,

Thank you very much for the kid offer !  Will most appreciate your efforts actually it would be a confirmation as The WWP pubs  definately show a different color . I have posted a similiar request on Hyperscale { https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/hyperscale/cockpit-interior-paint-color-of-me-410-at-raf-muse-t534983.html?view=unread#unread} with pics from the WWP .  Some of the responses think maybe it was British interior green that maybe the Museum used in the original restoration (?? see pictures on Hyperscale page of 2-too big to attach here) But if they did, they managed to perfectly save the 2 small rivitted plaques on the rail just below the red knob. So when you go to the museum if you could ask if that is what was done would be the answer.
