Am working on tamiya tiger and need some help.

What is the interior color (inside the open hatches)?
What is color of part A20 (a canister on the engine deck - looks like a fire
extinquisher mayber)?

TIA,
Rob

Interior color is a light buff down to the level of the sponsons. Testors Model
Master makes a matching color. Below that, usually was left in red oxide
primer. Individual fittings were often dark gray. Inside of hatches which are
visible to the outside when open is the same as the exterior color (Dunkelgelb
or Dunkelgrau). The fire extinguisher was usually overpainted with vehicle
cammo color.
The Osprey Tiger 1 book has helpful color cutaway drawings.

If I recall correctly, I'm away from my references, the paint name is
"elfbien".. been a long time since German 101..
It's an ivory color.

If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, perhaps you've
misunderstood the situation.
