Cockpit lexan Capri

The touch of authenticity that your Capri slot interior was missing

The Cockpit lexan Capri (ref. SWCZ/E) is a detail piece made from lexan —the lightweight and durable polycarbonate commonly used in the preparation of competition slot cars— that reproduces the interior cabin of the iconic Ford Capri at scale. Its function is twofold: it adds visual realism to the body and, being lexan, it does not penalise the weight of the assembly.

Main features

• Lexan material: lightweight polycarbonate, impact-resistant and easy to cut or adjust if necessary.
• Cockpit detail: reproduces the basic elements of the cabin —dashboard, seats— providing visual depth under the body.
• Specific design: designed to fit the Capri body without the need for major modifications.
• Reference SWCZ/E: manufacturer identification that facilitates locating and restocking.

Assembly and preparation

The installation of this cockpit follows the usual process for lexan interiors: fitting onto the chassis, checking the clearance with the body and securing it. If the piece requires any specific trimming to adapt to your car's particular setup, lexan can be easily worked with hobby scissors or a firm-tipped cutter. Before permanently securing it, it is advisable to do a dry fit with the body in place to ensure there are no interferences with the guide or the internal elements of the chassis.

If you want to paint the interior for added realism, acrylic paints from Vallejo or Tamiya adhere well to lexan that has been primed with a specific plastic primer. A well-painted interior in competition colours —matte black, charcoal grey or team colours— can make a difference in display or detailed photography.

Ideal for…

• Preparers and enthusiasts looking for the most complete finish on their Capri slot.
• Club competitors where the visual presentation of the car also matters.
• Collectors who assemble their cars with the highest level of detail.

Considerations

This cockpit is an aesthetic detail piece: it does not modify the dynamic performance of the car nor affect its behaviour on track. Its value lies in the realism it adds to the assembly. Always check compatibility with the specific chassis and body of your setup before proceeding with the final securing.

Frequently asked questions

Is this cockpit compatible with any Capri slot body?

It is specifically designed for the Capri body from its manufacturer (ref. SWCZ/E). It may be compatible with other bodies of the same model if the internal dimensions match, but we recommend verifying this before assembly.

Do I need special glue to secure it?

It depends on your chassis mounting method. In many cases, the pressure of the body on the chassis is enough to keep the cockpit in position. If you prefer to secure it, use a polycarbonate-compatible adhesive at specific points, avoiding interference with moving elements.

Can I paint it?

Yes. Lexan can accept acrylic paint if a suitable plastic primer is applied. Brands like Vallejo or Tamiya offer specific primers that enhance adhesion and the final finish.

Does it include any additional components besides the cockpit?
