G,Day All . Was the interior of the wc54 a semi gloss paint ? What colour .EG 34080 . And when did they paint the interior gloss white ? I am in the process of finishing of the interior of my wc54 , and any help would be appreciated . Thanks Ray

Ray,
Just painted the interior of mine a few weeks ago and used GCI 33070 green which I believe (or hope) is correct for ww2 era vehicles. It isn't really a semi gloss but not a flat finish either. I can get you a couple pics in the next day or 2 if it would help. From the research I've done, all ambulances were painted green from the factory, and any that had white were done by individual units in the field. i am by no means an expert on these things, still learning myself, mostly the hard way. i am sure others with more knowledge will advise as well. Good luck, Ron

Thanks Ron . Question ? . Is your wc54 an early 54 or a late war 54 . Why i ask is that rapco have got 33070 Lust o/d as early war and 33087 an 23087 as late war . Also can any one explain to me why 33087 is described as Lusterless khaki o/d and 23087 is semi gloss o/d . What happened to the Kahki in 23087 ? . I have got MVPA issues 81,2,3 that have a lot of good info in them about Ambulances So i will have to read up a bit more . Ray

Mines an early 1942. As far as the differences in the other paints I am clueless, haven't done much research in that department. I will get you a couple interior pics soon, just painted the exterior today and have to let the paint set before I can open the doors. Ron
