Dave Van Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I like those kits, have a few. How does it scale out??? thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Bacon Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 They are generally pretty close to 1/24, but not always the same scale lengthwise as widthwise! That's because the "Lego-like" construction is actually Lego compatible, so the dimensions and spacing of the studs and sockets on the parts are fixed. Effectively, like on a real car, the shapes of the external surfaces are constrained by the "hard points" inside where the blocks lock together. So the width can be ten studs or eleven studs or 12 studs, but not 10.5. Ditto the length. IIRC the McLaren P1 was something like 1/26 in length but 1/22.5 wide. The designer has to choose the best-looking compromise that also allows for a sensible assembly (eg in my example, 10 studs or 12 studs wide makes sense, 11 not so much...). They look good, though, IMHO. best, M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HotRodaSaurus Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 That Lambo looks real nice, I'm hoping to get the 1960s Mustang but just wondering about the scale. If all glued together is it to big for a slot car conversion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewetwo Posted January 19 Author Share Posted January 19 Thank you John. The Mustang measures 7 inches long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
