I put on a clear gloss coat tonight and came back to see what I was instructed to do. Now I don't find where I was told to do a clear gloss coat....

I love Foghorn Leghorn! LOL! I'm paying attention! Bring it on!
Anyone remember what color we're going to use inside? Was it RAF Sky?

Instructions called for 4 parts flat white and 1 part flat green. Depending on the green I think that would equal what Sky is.
Don't worry Chris, I forgot I was building a lot of these lately. :frantic

Nice work so far! Ammo by Mig makes a APC Interior that looks close to the pale green of these things, but yes Tamiya Sky is probably pretty close too!
HA, thanks Luiz, not really but I'm slappin' paint and glue around. 
Thanks Mike, never been inside one so I don't no nuffin'. Looked at a couple of pictures and it does look a bit light on the green side. But this is a fun build so i'm not going to worry about it.
color looks good, when it is all dirty it will not matter.
a note on the floor panels, when the paint wore off the non-skid coating, black showed through. I guess that was the color of the non-skid coating. When it was chipped down to the bare metal, it was a yellowish aluminum color.
Those floor panels were taken up all the time to inspect the ammo crates and clean out the mud/crud that got under there.

Thanks Chris, was debating on how deep to go with that. The Nonskid, it was painted over with interior color?
MP,
no, it was under the interior color. it was pretty rough. the green wore off pretty quick on the high spots.
looking good so far!
ETA to add this - you can see how rough the coating was here.
that "hole" as we called it didn't get used that often so the paint in this area was less worn then the main crew area.
Bradley's held 10 people, but I don't recall ever seeing full squads so that seat behind the driver (facing the rear) was used as field storage only and didn't get the traffic. Those floor panels under the rear facing seat covered the vehicles battery compartments.
