Thinking of the HobbyBoss kit for my next project and have two questions for now. What is a good color match for the interior? Does the USMC use the NATO tri-color or are they different colors and if so what colors are a good match? I prefer Tamiya or MM acrylics. Thanks.

The interior color is called SeaFoam Green. Unfortunately, there is no direct model color called this. The closest is Tamiya Sky S. Yes, the USMC uses NATO camo. The best Model Master colors I have found for it are Medium Green, Field Drab, and Flat Black.

Thanks Gino. Tamiya make the 3 NATO colors so I will be using those but it's good to know there are other alternatives.

IMHO, Tamiya XF-71 Interior Green(IJN) is another option for the interior.

H.P.

Thanks Frenchy, I'll take a look at that too.

this XF71 with a little bit of white .


As far as the three tone used Tamiya's Nato colours

Krylon Pistachio spray can is supposed to be a very good match for the sea foam green. I have some but haven't got around to using it! Should be good to go with the Tamiya NATO colors.
