IAC aircraft interior colours?
« on: June 02, 2006, 10:44:39 am »
Hi Folks,

Over the years i've collected a fair amount of exterior photos of Air Corps mnachines but not too  much on the interiors. I've a number of modelling projects in mind and I'd be grateful if someone could tell me the interior colour details of the following machines:

EC-135: seats, cabin walls
Cessna/Reims FR172: seats , cabin walls, instrument panel
Marchetti: seats, cockpit interior colour?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

Joe

Hi JoeMax
The Cessna interior is just standard Cessna, same as any civvie Cessna;beige plastic trim on the sidepanels and roof and the instrument panel, with green or brown seats and possibly green or brown carpet.The Marchetti has black plastic bucket seats, black interior trim and a black or white instrument panel.Try and get into the Museum and have a look around for more details.

...and last of them...

I have some interior/detail pics of Alouete, Dolphine, Gazelle and Pilatus' flaps details, so if you interested, let me know.

Unfortunately digital technology passes me by, so far, so all of these are "real" prints, but there is no problem to scan them.
By the way, who makes Marchetti in scale? I am looking for it for a while myself, but with negative reasults...

Hi there
FiSe's picture of the Cessna's instrument panel shows it without the beige plastic cover trim.The aluminium sub-structure into which the instruments are fitted is painted black.Any alloy surface, which does not bear trim, is painted in zinc chromate primer.

In their final years of service the Marchetti's were fitted with a grey instrument panel. I suppose you could compare it to the "Gunship Grey" that the USAF use. The 135's have a black panel with grey interior and black seats, I think? Been inside them loads of times but cant remember exactly. Must get the aul grey matter lookes at  'duh' !
