A Lexan interior that takes the detail of the P. 963 GTP Hypercar to the next level
The SC-6674 is the Lexan interior manufactured by Scaleauto specifically for the Peugeot 963 GTP Hypercar. Designed as a spare part or customization accessory, this component accurately reproduces the cockpit of the French prototype competing in the Hypercar class of the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC), including the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Function and features
- Lexan material: the thermoplastic polycarbonate, known in the hobby as Lexan, is the usual choice for slot car interiors due to its light weight, impact resistance, and ease of painting with an airbrush or model paints.
- Specific fit: part designed by Scaleauto to fit directly into their P. 963 GTP Hypercar model, ensuring dimensional compatibility without modifications.
- Raw finish: the interior arrives unpainted, allowing the enthusiast to customize it freely using model paints such as Vallejo, Tamiya, or Kaleido to achieve a faithful replica of the real cockpit or their favourite team's livery.
Who is it intended for?
This interior is aimed at two clearly differentiated profiles:
- The collector and detailer: who wants their Peugeot 963 slot to look impeccable on display, with a painted and detailed cockpit at the level of a static model.
- The club or competition driver: who needs to replace the damaged original interior after an accident on track, thus restoring the model's presentation without the need to purchase a complete car.
Painting and customization
Lexan is perfectly compatible with acrylic and model lacquers. For the interior of a endurance prototype like the 963, it is common to work with dark grey or matte black for the cockpit structure, adding details on the seats, steering wheel, and instrumentation. Brands like Vallejo or Tamiya offer specific references for competition vehicle interiors that work very well on polycarbonate, especially if a compatible primer is applied beforehand.
Assembly and preparation
As this is a Scaleauto part designed for this specific model, assembly is straightforward. It is recommended to paint the interior before permanently installing it in the body, as access to certain areas may be limited once assembled. If opting to paint it with an airbrush, it is advisable to hold the part with painter's tape or a lightweight support for a uniform finish without fingerprints.
