Cant Z1007 Cockpit

Having tracked down a copy of the Supermodel kit I need some info on the cockpit interior - layout (I know it's a tandem arrangement but does anyone have pictures or plans?), colour scheme (verde anticorrosione?), etc.

Seems to be a bit of an obscure aircraft (pretty though)...
