This will be next up in my build list after my current build is completed. My current thinking is to leave both doors open as a build by another AM builder showed there is some effort required to get the door opening and the door parts modified for the closed door position. And that is beyond my skill level at this point. 

The photos show all of the kit's pieces, and based on the instruction sheets, the interior looks like it is fairly well detailed. With the doors open, that will allow viewing of the interior detail instead of peeking thru the windows.

I'm excited to get started on this as soon as possible. I've already got the body's paint color mix figured out based on another Max Red Bull kit I did previously.

Based on my previous build of Tamiya's Max Red Bull Mercedes AMG GT3, this will be the painting process I'll use for my Alpha Model Max Ferrari 296 GT3. Black primer, silver base coat, blue mix of 9 parts clear blue (Mr Hobby GX103) to 2 parts clear purple (Mr Hobby GX107), apply decals after 2 days minimum cure time (verifying no problem with decals), mist coats of matt clear (Mr Hobby GX114) at a 1:2 ratio, cure for 2 days minimum, then mist coats of matt clear at a 1:3 ratio if no decal problems. The Mr Hobby paints are thinned with Mr Hobby Levelling Thinner.

I'll be using photos from this website's page to help in detailing this kit. Won't be done exactly like this, but will get as close as I can.

I'm starting my build of the AM02-0105 kit - Max's Ferrari 296 GT3. My plan is to have the doors open so the interior detail will be more visible. This should be interesting...
 
All of the parts have had their Dawn dish shop bath & scrub, so the fun begins!
 
First up is the painting of the interior tub. White primer was put down first, then I mixed up a white with a little light gray paint to try to get close to the color of the actual car. The engine bay also got the white primer, and it will get a little bit different color than the driver's area in the next day or so.
 
Shown is two of the primers I use - white and hot rod black. I also use their light gray and hot rod gray for some parts.
