Afv interiors
Posted by gobobbie on Saturday, August 22, 2015 5:27 PM

I just started an afv m-10 and am curious about interior colors. It is my understanding that the hull interior was painted white. Does this include the floors? Looking at photos (all b/w) it is apparent that the interior is a light color and normal equipment like radios were od. Any help would be appreciated.

Bob,

I think you will find the most modern interiors are in fact an off white or very light shade of green, almost white. The floors would be that off white as well but remember that they would most likely be covered with aluminum floor boards to help cover electrical work or things like torsion bars for suspensions etc. and they would most likely be the bare aluminum. I would go for the OD for the other interior equipment such as radios.

@Icit: Bob is refertting to the AFV Club M10 GMC as far as I can tell.

 

If so, then know that the floors would be OD -- with the open top GMC, you don't want to be visible to enemy aircraft observation.  You can leave the sponsons off white -- but the main floor shoudl be OD

Thank you. I could tell the side walls were a light color and standard equipment was od. I plan on spraying the sides flat white and then  weathering and distessing. The same with the floors except od and chipping and dirt added.

My wife's father had been a m 10 crewman during the last phases of WWII and this is for her to display.
