I'm looking to paint the interior C351 I Gunze brand the green zinc chromate which according think is very similar to FS 34092 - Rlm 70 - Humbrol 117 which is the H302 / h64 Gunze, but it is very dark, for the pictures I think it was the h58 yellow green Gunze, humbrol 151 the closest thing, so, I need to take a help with the issue.

Good one Sergio. From what I've seen, the interior was a mix of Bronze Green, with green ZC, and Interior Green on fittings such as seat frames and brackets etc. Thequilted padding in various areas, such as the cockpit side walls, was a sage green colour, similar to a lightened version of RAF Cockpit Grey Green.
These pics are of the interior of the B-25C 'Grumpy', when it first arrived at Duxford in the late 1980's (now back in the USA in RAF markings), when it was in original interior finish, apart from 'modern' extra seats and instruments etc. Ignore the 'modern' fittings, and look closely at the various areas, and the differences can be seen.
Other photos, including period shots, show similar colours throughout the B-25 series.
Hope these help.

Nice One!

 

[destrozas]

Wayne thanks
I started assembly, by the time everything pretty well detailed, tapes lacks weaponry feeding both the front, as the sides and tail, he'll look to do with plastic sheet and aluminum foil, also will missing something that is internal wiring looketh if I put the wiring or not all depends on being sincere desire that you have, I'm having a lot of work and I get quite lacking in desire other than rest and be with family.

now I show you another hard task that has the kit brands injector the nozzles of plastic, is very marked throughout the plane

Pump bay is something great comes with great detail, is very good.

so first of all be caulked and remove Injection marks to continue working on the plane.

Ejector pin marks can be a real pain in the butt!

[destrozas]

painting progress as a basis inside Gunze use h58 green, after that I gave the H302 (Fs 34092) so that it is not very uniform to make it look something lower color.

I did something I'm starting to test the effects of light and color, making a darker side and a clearer

 

[Wurger]

Looking good though.
