Function and Features
- Specific interior for the Scaleauto P-963 body shell in 1/32 scale.
- Lexan material: lightweight, durable, and easy to paint or decorate.
- Designed for a precise fit within the original body shell.
- Allows customization with modelling paints (Vallejo, Tamiya, Kaleido…).
Assembly and Preparation
The assembly of this interior follows the usual process for Lexan body shells: prior cleaning of the part, application of paint on the inside if a more protected finish is desired, and securing it within the body shell using the model's own anchors. Since it is made of Lexan, it is advisable to use paints compatible with flexible plastic and to apply them at low pressure when using an airbrush.
Compatibility
This interior is specifically designed for the Scaleauto P-963 body shell in 1/32 scale. Check the reference of the corresponding body shell to ensure exact compatibility before placing your order.
Common Mistakes
- Painting the exterior instead of the interior of the Lexan: the correct technique for transparent bodies is to paint from the inside to protect the colour layer.
- Using rigid adhesives that may crack the Lexan: always opt for flexible adhesives or those specifically designed for this material.
- Forcing the fit: if the interior does not fit smoothly, check the alignment before applying pressure.
