All nicely painted, in day light it's not actually gray but a green-grey RAL 7003 . I had always assumed that the internal areas in German tanks that weren't painted in RAL1001 Ivory, were just left as red oxide until I found some good pictures of the inside of the Tank Museums PZ2. The exact colour, from the pictures, is hard to establish but I found another taken in day light and the colour was definitely a green grey rather than grey. There seemed to be two choices, ( sorry my wife has corrected my poor grammar that should be options) RAL 7003 or RAL 7009 which looks grey as opposed to green-grey, so I decided on the 7003 which according to the book Real colours of WW2 was used by German industry for painting machinery components or the luftwaffe for painting aircraft interiors and I like it.
Sad I know but that's me.
