• AMT Piranha....anyone know what colour the inside of the body shell was?.....lol....don't say it was AMT grey styrene colour!......does the recent reissue have any clear pics that show the colour or do the reissued kit instructions say anything?....thanks. *NM*
  • google image search it looks like bare aluminum and black bars/frame work *NM*
    • Terry, thanks for the reply but the problem is that the body was made from Cycolac a plastic developed by Borg Warner & thermoformed 2 sheets together by Gene Winfield who painted the candy yellow/bronze body - but what colour was the body inside?.....anyone? *NM*
      • I'd look up info on Cycolac plastic itself...bet the sheets were a standard color, maybe white. The inside probably had primer and paint overspray on it, over the plastic color *NM*
        • Cycolac can be any color. "Natural" is off-white semi-translucent. *NM*
          • I'd guess at white then. The "production" cars were probably formed in whatever color they were intended to be, to avoid painting *NM*
  • A google image search , it looks like bare aluminum and black bars/frame work *NM*
  • Check here. *NM* *LINK*
    • Thanks guys............from the various links and searches its still not really clear but it would seem that a rough guide/guess(?) will be an off white/greyish tint with various alloy pieces.........it will be close enough for what I do......lol......thanks again. *NM*
