Old Buckaroo Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Not familiar with the length of the Revell kit. In 1/1 scale the 108" Aero cab used the 180" standard wheel base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Force Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) The Revell kit looks to be very close to 180 inches to me, and I just measured one of my AMT Papa Truck chassis and it looks like the AMT frame rails should be shortened about 66 millimeters (just over 2-9/16) to get a scale wheelbase of 180 scale inches measured from the center of the front axle to the center of the tandem. I know you Americans like the Standard Inch system but the metric system is quite good for this hobby as 1 inch in the real world is very close to 1 millimeter in 1:25 (exactly 1,016) so a wheelbase of 180 inches is 182.88 millimeters wich is close enough to 183...and the wheelbase on the AMT truck looks to be 249 millimeters and 249 - 183 = 66.
