The Tomahawk has a very simple, clean and open interior with the two seats, low sidewalls and large windows. The seats were stripped back to the basic frames and refurbished including painting the frames, fitting with new diaphragms, new foam cushions and new leather dress covers.

The seat dress covers were manufactured from ‘Lead grey’ (ADI 1111) aviation leather. This same leather was used on the arm rests and the centre console between the seats. The leather was perforated on the seat inserts and the Cessna (Tomahawk?) logo was embossed into the seat backrest. The stitching on the seams was in Titanium Grey which is the same colour as the sidewalls.
