k5054nz Posted December 12, 2021 Author Share Posted December 12, 2021 (edited) I felt bad for the builder, they must have been rushed for the video. Surely... I mean, if you're trying to hype something you want a really, really good-looking version for promotions right?

Yes I think you're right there. I still can't understand how Revell made such a botch job of theirs. A car that's easily available to measure up yet they get the roofline too low and the tyres too small. The mind boggles!

Caerbannog Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Based on Arfix other car scales and the "detail" of the wire wheels, I will place my bet on 1:32. And I am fine with it 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbostream Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Very interesting, if it is a new tool I will buy one as long as the scale is not smaller than 1/32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesP Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 @cmatthewbacon well at least it will look good next to all those Heller 1/43 kits you've built 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Swindell Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 1/43 scale eh? Didn't see that coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmatthewbacon Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Huayra and Chiron, too. I’m surprised, but maybe 1/43 car kits outsell 1/32 by an order of magnitude. The margins are probably good at £14 a pop… best, M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMA131Marine Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I know 1/43rd is one of the car collector scales, but I really wish they had stuck with 1/32nd scale for these car starter set releases. Perhaps they were aiming for compatibility with die cast cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web99 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I reckon 1/32 would be too expensive on plastic for the £15 price point. 1/43 is a new scale and easier to brush paint so I might give the new kits a go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony.t Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Too big to go next to the Buccaneer. So, a shame about the die-cast collector scale, but it should give plenty of kiddies oodles of joy. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaVenom Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Considering how small it is it doesn't look too bad. Much better shape than Revells larger kit. Might pick one up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
