Regia Aeronautica Bf 109 G-4

Hi, while I'm going on with the Veltro, I also started a new project based on the kit in 1:32 Hasegawa released some time ago.
The idea is to replicate this bird:






As usual I started with the pilot office





Seat, seat belts and gunsight are still missing
The cockpit kit is from MDC while the bw photos are from the 150GCT website.

Hi guys,
I have a question about my cockpit.
On the second picture from the top, you can see that I did some cabling on the left panel in yellow.
I did so because I've seen other modelers doing the same but also some yellow cables are shown in this G-6 picture

taken from Aero Detail no.5.
But this is a restored bird so ...
Does anybody know if this color is correct or, instead, which color should I use for those cables?
Thanks in advance.
Alberto

Alberto, the yellow, both in electrical cables and pipe work, signifies fuel. Therefore on the left (Port) wall, the yellow cable is the solenoid connection from the throttle lever, which would also normally have a yellow band around the grip. On the right (Starboard) wall, the yellow is the main fuel feed pipe from the tank, behind and under the pilot's seat. The cable visible under the instrument panel on the Starboard side is a brownish yellow, being a main electrical trunking.

That's great, tank-you!
I was positive on the yellow color for fuel pipes but I didn't knew that also related cabling was in the same color.
Thanks again
