Color for Arado-234 B cockpit interior

Post by nacho » 26 May 2005 09:28

Hello, I'm in the process of finishing my Arado 234B and don't have very clear what color was used inside the cockpit. I've seen various profiles but don't seem to unify criteria (black, blue?, and grey) Can anybody put some light on it?

Bets regards

The color code is/ should be RLM 66. It is a dark (blueish) grey.
I would provide you a color image, but I cannot find it at the moment. It is of the cockpit of the Ar 234 at NASM/ Dulles Airport.

Hi nacho,

I have 2 pics with the cockpit of Ar 234 at NASM. If you need them give me your email through PM. Don't expect very good colors though.

I have always liked this photo of Ar 234 :

Looks pretty dark to me the cockpit:

The HistoryNet website has an image of the cockpit of the Ar 234 preserved at NASM:
