Did the Luftwaffe paint the interior frames black, or were they the same color as the rest of the cockpit?
Buddy- Those who say there are no stupid questions have never worked in customer service.
I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so
On the bench: Airfix 1/72nd Harrier GR.3/Fujimi 1/72nd Ju 87D-3
I've always done them RLM 02 or 66; same as interior. No idea as to the accuracy but figure it looks good that way so that's what I do. I'm sure there's some "experten" out there who can say for sure!
"Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time".
There is some research done by author Dave Wadman ( he worked on those Luftwaffe colour profile books for Classic Publications). Specifically to the 109E, up to and including the curved canopy, the interior was 02. With introduction of the heavier square frame on the E-4, these were painted inside and out with 66 right at the factory. In addition, this darker colour could be found remaining on the exterior and not repainted to match the surrounding aircarft camou.

Thanks for the help guys. I appreciate it.
RLM 02 or 66 depending on period and aircraft type.
Too many models to build, not enough time in a lifetime!!
By 1944 I would say they would use what was available Color quality control varries in wartime.
Chasing the ultimate build.
