Compatibility and Assembly

This body is designed as an original spare part for Scaleauto cars in the R8 LMS GT2 family at 1/32 scale. Being a part from the brand itself, the fit with the corresponding chassis is direct, requiring no modifications. Before purchasing, ensure that your model reference matches SC-3641 to guarantee correct assembly.

Preparation and Customisation

The white finish of the body makes it the ideal support for painting and decal work. If you plan to decorate it, we recommend:

• Cleaning the surface with a mild degreaser before applying any layer of paint.
• Using modelling acrylic paints such as Vallejo or Tamiya, which adhere well to plastic and allow for precise results both with brush and airbrush.
• Applying a primer coat if you are going to use dark or metallic colours, to ensure even coverage.
• Protecting the final decoration with a matte, satin, or glossy varnish depending on the desired finish.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Do not force the body mounts onto the chassis: if it does not fit smoothly, check that the spare part reference exactly matches your model.
• Avoid aggressive solvents on the plastic before painting, as they can deform the part.
• Do not apply excessively thick layers of paint, as they can hinder proper closure on the chassis.
