"...Since you didn't mention which version you are interested in building (and assuming you mean a US-built aircraft), the Alision-engined aircraft appear to have used Dull Dark Green. Some of the early Bs and Cs possibly (probably?) used Dull Dark Green, but at some point they switched to Interior Green (ANA611). At the time the new orders were cut to change the cockpit color, no one bothered to revise the requirements for the seat color, which probably explains why so many Ds had Interior Green cockpits with Dull Dark Green seats. (NASM's aircraft has this combination of colors.)
At the time Interior Green came into existence, it was defined as a mixture of zinc chromate [yellow] and black; in other words, green zinc chromate. However, there were other green zinc chromate formulas early in the war, so you can find a zinc chromate for modelers that doesn't match Interior Green."

No jo, jenže Martin Černý někde psal - a nemůžu to najít, tak doufám nekecám - že sice interior green byl mix 1:1 žlutý a černý, ale že ta žlutá rozhodně nebyl zinc chromate, protože tahle barva byla toxická... Tak jsem hledal dál a našel jsem ještě tohle:
"...Another subject of long-going controversy is the colour of the cockpit floor, which in P-51 was made of plywood. Erection and Maintenance instructions for the P-51D specify all wood floor areas to be covered in black non-skid surfacer purported to be a mix of silica sand and matt black paint, the kind of finish that was also used for wing walks. Metal floor areas were to be left in bare metal finish...
...Similarly to other aircraft types, the camouflaged P-51 most probably had wheel wells painted in Neutral Grey. On later-production natural metal aircraft, the wheel wells were Interior Green. Additional piping and wiring inside the wheel well area was painted in Aluminium lacquer."
Takže nakonec nevím, jestli green zinc chromate je totožný s interiour green nebo ne, jestli podlaha má být černá nebo dřevěná ani jestli podvozková šachta má být neutral gray nebo žlutý zinc chromate... Jediný, co neni (alespoň přespříliš) sporný je to, že vnitřní plochy, co nejsou vidět, jsou žlutý zinc chromate. Ach jo, prosím pomozte...
