I have now completed the chassis minus the road wheels and the turret is ready to be closed down. I opted to close all the engine hatches because there is no engine to show in the first place. Fit is very good with a fairly good amount of detail. I have chosen the Ha-Go that  was shipped to the Philippines although the camouflage scheme seem to be very identical to others except for the markings. I hoped to populate this with my Jap tank crew.

The Japanese Ha-Go tank that used to be on display inside the Patton Museum at Fort Knox had a gloss white interior. Someone has posted some photos of that tank here:

I'd assume white, the cut-away in Steven Zaloga's 'Japanese Tanks 1939-45' shows this colour. I've seen black & white photos but it's kinda hard to tell if white, buff, light grey or whatever.

I'm doing the japanese tank "Ha-Go" by Dragon a cute model small but lots of detail. I'm almost done with the chassis and the turret and I want to paint the interior before I close it. What would be the color of the interior? Would it be white just like the allied tanks?
