Tank Interior Colour

[tankbarrell]

US vehicles were white throughout, British were silver throughout, then white for a time before returning to silver late war.
Engine bay and fighting compartment were always the same colour except for open topped afv's.

Post war, the fighting compartment of my Charioteer was painted white (presumably before sale to Jordan), though the engine bay was still silver.

Hi Wayne,
Got inside an 8/13th Staghound when it was moved to Bandiana years ago, it was certainly white inside, a slightly off white that could well have been a gloss white originally.
The white certainly seemed to make it roomier than I was expecting.
Rich.
