With the body shell mostly complete, I finished the interior cabin of the car. Flat red acrylic paint was used on the front of the seats to simulate the fabric Recaro seats. Tamiya flat red acrylic goes on very thin and provides very little coverage. Some patience is required to get the red applied to the proper finish. I had to paint the seat 4 times with a few hours of drying time between each coat to get it even & smooth. Flat black acrylic was used on the back of the seat. Tamiya calls out for yellow/green to simulate the carbon/kevlar bucket seat, but once installed, you can barely see it (saved a few bucks here).
The interior bucket that houses the dash board and seats was pretty simple to do as it was completely painted with 1 color only (semi-gloss black).
Some glue at the mounting points and we have what looks to be an actual car now. Very rewarding stage of the project!
