Left hand dashboard

Another liberty I'm taking with the kit is making it a left hand driver. Sometimes car model kits come with both dashboards so you can choose, but this one does not. I spent just about as much as the kit to get the replacement parts, but I think it's worth it. The conversion kit comes with three pieces. Based on the previous model I built and the 1:18 scale diecast, which are both left hand drivers, other parts would switch places in a true conversion. Again, I'm going for aesthetics here, not complete accuracy. This kit gives you the aesthetic, and I suppose a more ardent modeler could fashion the rest.

I'm a fan of 3D printing to begin with, and this conversion would not be possible if not for 3D printing. I don't know if I would have chosen this model if the left hand driver weren't an option.
