Cockpit floor - A-14 Rear Fuselage interior ? Bare wood Radio shelf - Olive Green (4BO) or AII green ? Fuselage tubing ? Olive Green (4BO) or A-14 Fuselage sides - blue or A-14, if blue which blue Instrument panel ? Photos show a light colour, but the black cover plate may be missing. Seat Back - Olive Green (4BO) Seat pan - aluminium or A-14 Control column ? silver or A-14 Canopy framing, internal ? A-14 Headrest ? Brown Switch boxes ? Black Radio boxes ? Grey or black Undercarriage ? Wheel hubs ? Green, will try the Xtracolor paint Undercarriage ?legs? ? Underside colour or A-14 ? Wheel wells ? Olive green or underside colour Cheers Dennis Title: Re: Mig 3 interior colours Post by: Massimo Tessitori on November 23, 2014, 08:56:57 PM Hi Dennis,
I would say: undercarriage legs and bays light blue; seat lower part, bright green, instrument panel: AE-9 for early planes, black for later ones fuselage tubing, some very dark grey or green radio shelf: unpainted wood with green contours (the same green of outside) inside of fuselage panels: same blue of undersurfaces floor: I don't know. Of course, it is possible that not all the Mig were painted in the same way.
