                        I'm building a 1/48 scale MH-53J Pave Low from the Revell CH-53 and need to know the cockpit floor color.Is it black or some color of grey?

                        The whole cockpit is flat black, including the floor.  The floor would be buffed to a semi-gloss and down to metal is some areas due to wear from walking on it though.

                        Thanks for the info.I kind of thought it might be black,but I wasn't for sure.I want to model the ramp down,so do you know where I can get some interior wall shots just inside of the cargo area?

                        hawkwrench,

                        I can suggest a book that'll help you out with your Pave Low build.  "H-53 Sea Stallion in Acion" - "Aircraft number 174" by Squadron Signal publications.   

                        Of coarse we're always happy to answer questions if we're able, so keep em' coming.  The book just makes for a decent reference.   

                        Semper Fi,

                        Chris

                        Contact me via e-mail if you still need the interior shots.  I'll try and find some time this weekend to scan the photos.
