As per the very informative "1/43 auto scale chart"----Yep! The dimensions are all over the place!
Soooo---It is THEN possible, is it NOT---to cherry pick undersized 1/43 models that are closer to 1/48 scale? I know some of the New Ray models (for example) appear to be closer to 1/48 size dimensions.
If New Ray would start selling these undersized 1/43 models as 1/48 I bet they would have a revival in sales. As it IS now, you can hardly give these New Ray vehicles away. -Salty Rails-
