I have one question for everyone.No.1 told me that engine cowling interior is yellow.But My instructions says me that engine cowling interior is interior green.Can someone tell me what to do?Is it the mistake in instruction or something else,and is it possible that engine cowling interior to vary from model to model(I build F6F-5N Nightfighter)?

Yes, zinc chromate yellow was common on the -5 except very late ones had black interior of the cowling. I agree that yellow would likely be the best choice.
