The Bell 407 helicopter has seven seats, which are made up of two crew seats, two aft-facing pax seats, and three forward-facing pax seats. The aft-facing pax seats have an armrest between them with two cup holders. The crew and aft-facing seats have back-to-back headrests which are styled to match the seats.

All the seating in the helicopter was in rich red leather. The inserts were detailed with a quilted pattern stitched in a charcoal colored thread. The quilting pattern was the double diamond pattern. The Bell 407 Logo was embroidered into the upper backrest area in matching thread.

The other parts of the project included wrapping the plastic panel parts. The parts were wrapped in a 2-way stretch vinyl, specifically designed for wrapping shaped parts. The color of the vinyl was a warm beige color. The floor coverings in the helicopter were made from Genflor carpet, color nickel. The cyclic and collective boots were made of red leather.

Also supplied was a set of overcovers for all the seat covers in the helicopter. These are designed to protect the leather seat covers and are secured with elastic webbing. The covers were made of a red canvas with the Bell 407 logo embroidered on the seat backs in charcoal colored thread.
