The other day I was looking at photos of the knocked out Cuban BTRs at Pt Salinas, Grenada from 1983. Those you see were white inside. So I naturally presumed that the Soviets and Russians stuck with that color. Now doing an image search on BTR-80 interior shows otherwise.  Definitely a light gray along the lines of late Cold War cockpits. Tamiya has nothing straight out of bottle that comes to mind except perhaps their new RN light Admiralty Gray color in the small bottle.

It is definitely grey!

And regarding Tamiya reference, i would say that an XF19 is a good start, but might need a little of XF25 to get a somewhat more blueish. I also have the Zvezda BTR-80A waiting to be taken care of... Wink
