ASV GT3 Interior Lexan

Cabin Detail for the Sideways Aston Martin Vantage GT3

The Lexan interior SWASVE is an official accessory from Sideways specifically designed for the Aston Martin Vantage GT3 of the same brand. Made from Lexan —the same transparent polycarbonate used by real racing car body manufacturers— this piece reproduces the GT3 cockpit with a level of detail that makes a difference when viewing the car on track or in display.

What is a Lexan interior and what is it for?

High-end slot cars typically feature an opaque body mounted on a chassis, completely concealing the interior. By adding a painted or transparent Lexan interior, a realistic view of the cockpit is achieved: dashboard, seat, safety cage, and other elements typical of a competition GT3 are visible through the windows.

This enhancement is particularly valued by collectors who display their cars and by enthusiasts seeking that extra touch of authenticity without sacrificing on-track performance.

Key Features

• Material: High-strength, lightweight Lexan (polycarbonate).
• Compatibility: Exclusively designed for the Sideways Aston Martin Vantage GT3.
• Allows interior painting with modelling products (Vallejo, Tamiya, Kaleido, Ammo) for a customised finish.
• Official Sideways reference: SWASVE.

Customisation Options

Lexan accepts acrylic paint well when applied from the inside of the piece, a common technique in modelling and competitive slot racing. With colours for the seat, trims, and dashboard details, a cabin is achieved that rivals any static collection model. Paints such as those from Vallejo or Tamiya work perfectly on this material as long as they are applied gently and drying times are respected.

Ideal for…

• Owners of the Sideways Aston Martin Vantage GT3 who want to complete the visual presentation of the car.
• Collectors who display their slots and appreciate the detail of the cabin.
• Club racers who desire a more realistic finish without altering the car's dynamic behaviour.

Considerations

This interior is a customisation and detailing accessory; it does not affect the mechanical performance or balance of the car. Being a piece specifically designed for the Sideways Vantage GT3 model, it is not compatible with other bodies or manufacturers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this interior compatible with any Aston Martin Vantage GT3 slot?

No. It is specifically designed for the Aston Martin Vantage GT3 manufactured by Sideways. The geometry and tolerances correspond to that specific body, so we do not guarantee fitment on versions from other manufacturers.

Can the Lexan interior be painted?

Yes. It is common to paint the interior side of the piece to protect the paint. Modelling acrylics (Vallejo, Tamiya, Kaleido, Ammo) applied with a fine brush or airbrush at low pressure work well.

Does the Lexan interior add significant weight to the car?

Lexan is a very lightweight material, so the weight increase is minimal and does not appreciably alter the car's behaviour on track.

Does it come painted as standard or does it need to be painted?

The piece is supplied unpainted, in transparent Lexan, so each enthusiast can customise it to their liking.

Is it necessary to modify the body to install it?

In principle, no, as it is designed to fit into the original cockpit of the Sideways model without the need for modifications. In any case, we recommend a fitting test before permanently gluing or securing the piece.
