1955 Suburban: Interior

The interior is a hybrid of bits from the Toyota Hilux 4-door, the Chevy Cameo 2-door, and some scratchbuilding for the rear section in what was the Toyota pickup body.



The truck will be Tamiya Blue TS19, with a section around the windows in Tamiya TS8 Italian Red. The red has been shot in the picture above; I'm letting it dry before taping and moving on to the blue. A bit heavy, perhaps, but this (along with white) maps the Icelandic flag. There will be a visor and fender lips that I may paint white to contrast.



The interior is Testor's Flat Sea Blue, with Gloss Light Blue as an accent. Most of it is from the Toyota, but the dash and steering wheel are the classic 1955 Chevy items. The third rear-facing bench seat came from the parts bin. 



A lot got done today, more than appears from the pictures. The next big item is getting the paint onto the resin body. No problems so far, but I've never really gotten a decent result in the first pass, so stay tuned.
