Anybody know what the usual colours are for the interior of a Blackhawk or Chinnock. Wanting to do a pro job on my Valkyrie so I can sell it on Ebay, so needing as much detail as I can get.

I did mine in a Gnarloc Green basecoat, shaded with a Paynes Grey. A quick google search for blackhawk interior returned a couple of pictures.

Khaki and grey by the look of it:



And here for a big detail pic:

I remember the interior of a Chinook being the same colour as the outside, but it's been over 6 years since I last flew in one and at the time I wasn't paying too much attention Green webbing seats and black belts...

hope this is what your looking for mate

Ta. Thanks for that. Another project on it's way

Hey no prob, just post some pics I love pro work lol

the inside of a huey and a ch-46 when I was in the marines was mostly black, but with a lot of scuff marks. we are talking about the metal floors not the seats etc...but the metal panels.

Will try to. Have dug out my Devilbiss dual action airbrush loving it at the mo. Just using it to base coat 28mm models at the mo, but have the Forge World painting book so looking to do my Valkyrie and Baneblade using it. Also going to see how much I can do on a Rackham Wolfen model as well

You see that add's confusion to the debate You would of thought that light colours would be bad for the inside of vehicles due to possible high vis at night. However you take a walk around a tank museum you will see the inside of the tanks are light colours. The flip side of this is that I can see why, when all sealed up it helps the crew on the inside. I will need to make a choice and stick with it

Inside of tanks is generally light colours so that it's less claustrophobic and easier to illuminate. (easier to identify leaks as well).

Inside of aircraft (and race cars, etc) is generally dark to keep pilot's attention focused outside and to reduce glare.
