Interior is complete. Colour scheme was called out as mahogany and olive drab. Nooo. Went for something a bit more in keeping with exterior colour

Looking good, finished by tomorrow then?

Incidentally, I saw this in our own SMS - https://www.scalemodelshop.co.uk/sms-db066/ - just in case you are interested

Nicely rendered model, was this fwd or rwd? There are loads of similar looking rwd Toyotas on SA roads used as 18 seater taxis ( though the official maximum caught was 41 passengers + driver ) and they do not care one iota for road rules.

It's rwd. Yeah sa is bonkers
