I'm building the Cyber-Hobby 1/700 kit of this ship. There are several portals that can be built open, such as the hangar bay for instance. The kit also provides several rudimentary interior panels for the open portals. What color should they be? I'm guessing white and possibly gray for the hangar bay deck but am not sure. I tried calling up all the photos on google I could find, but they were all exterior shots.
BTW, this thing looks more like a a space ship than an ocean going ship! I'll bet the Somali pirates will crap in their pants when they see this bad boy comming their way.

Hi Chuck
I would also say white... it's the (most) common color used for inside the hanger.
All the photos I had when I built mine (great model btw) didn't show the inside... so I left possible open areas, closed.
If you are going to add more railings refer to Trumpeter images of the 350th scale for more accurate placing.
This is my rendition of it:
More images Here (MOD Feature)
Please refer to the comments on my built, for some tips on the built and painting... it may help!
Cheers

Bright silver, mostsly, plus the regular non-skid deck color:

I like the look of the LCS2 Class. It just looks wild and like it means business.
