Interior Color of LWS

Just a pure guess but I would say it's the same as other German vehicles. I know someone with actual knowledge of the subject will correct me.
 
This one looks greyish

James,

This does not look like an LWS... it seems like one of the postwar Russian prototypes...

From a British report, we have the following:

To me, this looks like the standard Ivory interior color for German vehicles: RAL 1001 Elfenbein.

Regards,
 
Thanks for the info guys. My first thought was that it was Ivory color as well but then I saw many models with gray interior.

Saul's got the best educated guess , these are early war vehicles and more likely then not a variation of Elfenbein [ sp ? ] .

However these were Kriegsmarine [ sp ? ] and pioneer vehicles so I can't really be sure if their colors were the same as factory tank { Elfenbein ] interiors .

A search on what factory and company made them might cough up more info ................. I'm on it .
 
Rheinmetall-Borsig of Düsseldorf made the vehicle. It was made for both the army and navy. If built to navy specifications, the interior would be the following:

RAL 9002 - Matte White
RAL 7024 - Dark Gray from floor to 1 meter height (exception being the men's rooms which the height was 250mm)
RAL 9006 - Aluminum-Bronze for the engine rooms

Here is a nice collection of LWS photographs culled from eBay by TangoModels and posted on Webshots:

Well, I don't think it would be in Kriegsmarine colors (even though RAL 9002 is Ivory or Off-White) since they ordered it for Coastal use and the photos don't show the dark 1 meter tall section. Mine will be RAL 1001 Elfenbein.
