FFVS J22 1/72 Marivox

Hi, colleague. I make J22.

A question, correct colouring cockpit . What correct colour? On a photo, different paints?

[Snussugen]

Maybe the cockpit colours varies between the different airforces.

This website has a nice "in detail" section of the J22 here:

Just assuming it served in more countries, haha. That's the only explanation I can come up with since I don't know anything at all about the aircraft.

Thanks for the answers. A site I know. I have opinion, the cabin J-22 is painted

Then on a photo is correct, it is grey colour.

Before restoration, serial number is seen

It too grey

Hi. I continue to work. So it has turned out.

Regarding interior colours on the J 22.
The base colour was a greyish green, very similar to FS.14159, though may have varied a bit in shade and finish between metal and wood surfaces.
Touch ups on operational aircraft were made by whatever was available so it's likely that the standard W25 Olive Green (similar to FS.24079) became the go to solution as it was commonly used in the various SAAB types at the time. Towards the end of their service the last J 22s tended to look like a mosaic of greens and greys, like for example the aircraft at Flygvapenmuseum. A 1940s exapmle would on the other hand have a more uniform appearance.

Thanks, Per. Above has written, why so painted. Tried similar to be FS.14159. Has not understood as far as green. On a photo serial number on a grey background is seen. The plane before restoration. Above, green is added above grey. It http://www.ipmsstockholm.se/home/ffvs-j-22-in-detail/ I regret, I have no the large information. Only Internet.

The picture you're pointing to with a visible serial is of 22149. Of the three museum aircraft available, it's the least suitable reference. It stood outdoors for over 30 years in derelict condition and didn't get a proper restoration before it went on display, as a matter of fact I don't think they bothered repainting the cockpit at all.

Of the remaining two, the one at Flygvapenmuseum (22280) is typical for an aircraft during the last years in service (ca 1950-54) with a patchwork of greens in the cockpit. That's the one featured in the walkaround images, but please note that the white balance is off (too blue) so it looks a lot greener than it actually is.
22185 at Ängelholm is the only J 22 that has been fully restored. It's represents a service aircraft of the 40s very well. I may have some pictures of of the cockpit somewhere.

Looking at the images in your first post, all three aircraft are present. From left to right: 22185, 22280, 22149.

Well. http://peosflyg.fagelochflyg.se/v42/col ... rtby=&dir= Herboloid H5 Grцnblе Slightly more gray than 14159. Might be inside of plywood panels.
But it is grey, not a green paint or FS14159 SAC Blue/Green? http://www.colorserver.net/showcolor.asp?fs=14159

These colours identical?
Analogy Xf65 or 22 Tamiya - field grey. Gunze H48 Or other colour?
