Good point, I found this out when doing the interior of an SdKfz.  Oh well, live and learn

Remember: this white or ivory did NOT apply to the inside faces  of hatches -- this is an oft-made mistake by modelers.

Yes, at least one museum preserved T-34 has off white interior... an ivory or cream color

It's possible Stik that the paint used was similar to the interior "Ivory" color used by German tanks. While Russian M3 Lee/Stewart and M4 Shermans were left with the factory applied white interiors. Ivory is basically "off white" closer to eggshell white than anything else.

The KV tanks had steel rimmed road wheels.

I have read of two different colors being used on Soviet WWII tanks, a light mint green and white. I would think that White is the more likely color.

There are a few pics on this thread here of a KV-1 interior. It appears to be white

Not sure if this has been asked and answered already but can't find it so here goes. Anyone have knowledge of what color was used on the interior of WW2 Soviet tanks, I'm doing the KV-2 but  it may be the same for all? Also were the road wheels rubber rimmed? I am having trouble finding this out. Any other info/hints about this tank are also welcome. Thanks!
