Yeah, i think i'll do my carpet to match the dash, what color is your leather going to be? and are you going to paint the dash the same color?

The lower dash section is being painted the same colour as the seats (beige leather) Stillnot 100% sure what colour to do the carpets. Any sugestions????

After the first few coats on the interior I decided that it would be a good idea to test fit it all together with the shell to see how the colours would work together. What do you think?



here is a closer look of the interior (all hand painted) I decided to go with the beige carpet as well as seats (like the instructions say)




BTW the shell is DEEP Metallic Blue not black as it looks in the pics. (this colour doesn't photograph well

You'll just have to get it out on the driveway on a hot summer day!

when It's finised. I still have 1 more coat of paint to put on then clear coats.

That and I still have the majority of the internals and engine to start/ complete

IMO It looks pretty bloody good

[Guiddy]

Bit too much biege IMO!

I would go with black carpet and the rear section behind the seat in black.
Really, as Ferrari do it is perfect!

[tazdev]

The problem is I'm not 100% sure how Ferrari do it.

I've seen pics of the red car with beige seats but red carpets. I haven't seen interior pics of the blue with beige seats so have nothing to compare with

So it will just stay how Tamyia have them.

Oh yeah no new pics or work done today as I was too busy procratinating and spent ALL DAY doing nothing (it was shear bliss )

UPDATE:
the final coats of paint have gone on the shell and the metallic bluse loos sooo nice, The metallic flecks are the perfect size for 1:24 scale models. I recommend if you can find this paint TS-53 Deep Metallic blue then give it a go, you won't be disappointed:frog:

I've actually been in a Ferrari 360. A friend of the family had a maroon 360 with the beige interior. The carpet is actually more red than beige. It looks very good to. I used a maroon-red color for the carpets and back walls on the 360. By the way the guy traded the car straight for a Ferrari 550.

The color looks great. I can't wait to see the finished product.

well the interior and engine areas are complete and I am happy with them .

All that is left now is tidying up the shell and assembling it all into one classy looking automobile.

The dark blue shell and the beige interior seem to complement each other very well indeed, can't wait to finish it . But I will, even if it drives me crazy
