Gentleman, I have a quick question about Gustav 109's. Did the G's have RLM66 or RLM02 cockpit interior color?
I just found this:
After November 1941, all cockpit/crew areas were RLM Black-Grey 66.
The interior of engine compartments were painted in RLM 02, with the exception of the firewall.
Aircraft fuselage areas, with the exception of the cockpit were finished in RLM 02.
Aluminum and other alloy areas were still given a coat of RLM 02 to prevent corrosion.
Equipment such as radios, fuel tanks, oxygen bottles, etc. were in the color applied by the manufacturer.
Radios were usually black or gray; fuel tanks were usually black or gray. Oxygen bottles were usually overall blue, or painted with blue stripping.
Wing areas were finished in RLM 02.
Gun bay areas generally retained their RLM 02 paint.
The flap 'well' and interior of the flap was painted with RLM 02. This includes radiator flap and cowl flap areas.
Bf-109B/C/D/E's usually had the underwing radiator area painted the same color as the fuselage underside.
Wheel wells and components should have been RLM 02.
Steel prop blades were painted RLM 70 black green.
Is this accurate?
