@Larry posted:Well, folks, I just took delivery of my 1/48 scale Falstaff delivery truck from Classic Metal Round 2 and boy does it sure look small. It is dwarfed by 1/43 scale automobiles and even looks small next to 1/50 scale buses and trucks.....but, when compared to the dimensions for 1948 Chevrolet COE's (https://www.gmheritagecenter.c...-Chevrolet-Truck.pdf).
it seems to be very accurate at least as I measure it even the headlights (at about 7 inches) and wheels (at about 20 inches) are in scale. It doesn't look overly small next to Preiser figures.
So please take a look at the gm pdf file and see what you think. All these years of sufficing with oversized 1/43 vehicles seems to have warped my perceptions. It is a beautiful truck and would look great on a distant highway with similarly sized trucks.
Oh, my aching brain,

Hi Larry,
Can you actually find anywhere on the packaging or the model itself where it specifically states "1/48 Scale"?
What I can see in some photos, the packaging says "O Scale", and "1948 Box Van". This wording in itself may sublimely lead one to believe it is 1/48 scale, when in fact it's not. Without me having one to do some close scrutiny on, I'm pretty sure it is actually 1/64 scale (3/16" = 1'-0"), which is why it appears rather small when comparing it to other known-sized scale vehicles in the 1/43 to 1/50 scale size range.
