Hello Grant!

Another very nice build! Congratulations!

As for the interior colour, it looks right. If you want more info - I have found this web page for you:

This is the web page of the Krakow Air Museum - very nice, really worth visiting if you are in Krakow. This museum has three "panoramas" of the Mil Mi-4 interior on it's page:

Nice build. Put it in the helicopter section for better exposure.

I don't do many choppers, actually this is only my second, but I do love Russian helicopters.
 
Nice kit, but HobbyBoss have failed in not giving you any interior colour call outs. After googling images and not finding any, I guessed, I used a Russian interior colour, but it is probably wrong. Other wise I enjoyed the build, it was quick and a bit different for me.

I used Gunze acrylics for camo, Akan for interior, and tamiya acrylic made up the rest. I used  Flory dark dirt wash outside, and AK enamel washes for interior. Vallejo resin matte varnish finished it off.

Oh, and I wrecked the kit decal numbers, so I raided the spares and come up with 38, it was supposed to be 03.
