What's your Logon Tom??? Have to have it just to read.

Not sure what the answers are but from what I have read it can be all over the place from lacquered aluminum to yellow or zinc chromite. I even saw on the IMPS Stockholm site where they made the case that the interior of the bombardier station was black.

What answers did you get?

Dang it! My log-on is username: :woohoo: . Colors for the cockpit is flat black and bare aluminum with sound deadening insulation fastened to the sides, pic's were taken of Flakbait at the NASM in Washington.

Photobucket works fine here, just I can't see it when I"m at work.

I do see that interior though. That's a mighty cramp workplace there..

Now how to recreate the insulating (blankets) if one was to go totally AMS on this?

Get pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe one could make the blankets with putty. The type the figure guys use. I can't remember the name.

lead foil and use a scribe to draw the pattern?

 

[tomwes]

Or maybe paper toweling soaked in thinned down PVA glue then painted the correct color?

The pictures are great and will be very useful.

Take a look at the dollar store or a party type store and you will usually find party napkins that are embossed. Just select whats close to what you want cut to size and glue in. Have to be delicate though to keep the embossing.
