Hi all!

I´m working on a Tamiya Fiat 500F in 1/24, a VERY tiny car even in this scale!

Does anyone know what color the interior might be in these small cars?

I have choosen a very dark blue (Humbrol #15 Midnight Blue) as body color.

What color can the Floor/sides/roof and seats have?

Don´t need any exact colors, just a hint in the right direction.
Very light/light/dark/very dark *color* will do!

Cheers!

I found some pics in a used car classified for Fiat 500F's. The link is for the main page, but on page 2 there is a dark blue car. Maybe this can help you a bit.

Hi!

Thanks for the link!

That dark blue car have EXACTLY the same color as "mine"!

So an all-black interior, perhaps with dark grey for floor and roof.

Cheers!

Off course, rarely are car interior parts completely black. There allways seems to be a streak of dark blue or dark grey in them.

http://www.forum-auto.com/automobiles-mythiques-exception/section5/sujet241637.htm is a French forum about the restoration of a black Fiat 500, which has crimson leather upholstery... later on, the pics of the dark blue one suggest a reddish color as an interior color aswell.

Amazing what a simple google can give you sometimes.

And er... show us the results
