| Well... good question. Refferences for this beast are about as hard to come by as the kit itslef, and I dont have the knowhow to measure anyway. That being said, this is a very old kit, early 70s perhaps even late 60s. Back in those days the emphisis was in making the kit movable with a motor. Accuracy took a back seat to getting the batteries and motor in, so, it is entirely possible it not exact. Things are a bit thick and clunckly in keeping with the toy aspect. But with a little TLC it can make a decent looking kit, and as I said before, its the only game in town if you want to do one. I did see one place on the web where a guy scratch built the entire thing, but I'll leave that to better modelers. |
