uhh, what does it say in the instructions??? Many times, Tamiya will tell you to mix colors for interior, right?

[SupercarFreak]

well, they use Flat Red for the leather interior

Here's a link to tamiyas colour chart, maybe it can help you to narrow it down a little.

thanks but that was what i was looking at
the only "tan" i see is deck tan, what color would you guys use to replicate tan leather?

I can't say I've used it before, but Desert Yellow (XF-59) looks like it's what you're after. If it's not quite your desired look, it's close enough to try and mix it with something else...

That pic really distorts the colour somewhat too, it looks alot more 'tanish' than that in real life.

you're absolutely right, now that i compare the colors its perfect, thanks!!!

Not a problem. The real colour is slightly darker than in the pic though (probably better for you) and is slightly less 'yellow' in colour (also more what you're after).

Also try;

XF55 - Deck Tan
XF57 - Buff
AS15 - Tan

To create the tan colour in the 360 kits, Tamiya's instructions call out for a mix of X-6 + XF-15 at a ratio of 1:10 respectively.

I used Deck Tan on my celica interior, its a lighter shade than what you're after though

X-6 + XF-15 at a ratio of 1:10

gives a good looking tan leather look.

Flat Flesh is similar
