FV432 interior part 02 

I distinctly remember that the retractable passenger cabin seats of the AFVs FV 432 of my Regiment in Minden, were of a light green waterproof fabric, Torn seat coverings were not patched but were commonly repaired with black masking-tape (aka: "Black Nasty"}. As for the rest of the interior, the only parts that were coloured in buscuit sand were the fabric cushioned parts within the passenger cabin the purpose of which was to provide some internal soundproofing from the whine of the engine and some protection from the vibration for electronics as well the crew who were invariably bounced about within it as the vehicle travelled over rough ground. The areas above the seats in your model have been wrongly painted in that buscuit colour. The actual colour was unpainted metal, the same as the floor you have weathered. The same unpainted metal colour for the bulkhead within the gaps of the padded linings clearly seen in the finished picture. The seats were commonly left in the raised position unless actually being used as this allowed extra floorspace for kit that could not be stowed in the stowage areas and external back-bins on either side of the door. Internal stowage was generally too insufficient to accommodate everything that was thrown into the Vehicle by way of eg: bergans, ammunition, rations and water jerrycans. I loved everything about the 432 we used as our mobile home in BAOR, I really would like to see a large scale model of it.

having spent many years in the 432 i can tell you they never were that dirty inside this is the british army here gets dirty you clean it simples lol
