Hatches were green on inside - to not silhouette the person against a white hatch = better target. Exception to that was the shell port on left turret - being small and not opening all the way, the inside of that was white.

Head pads were typically black. :wink:

Hi Dale,

Am enjoying your build, keep up the excellent work.

Just back tracking a little; have you varnished your bogies and wheels? If so, matt or satin?
