excuse me it's metric size! :mrgreen:
in cm
overall lenght : 106
front width : 46
rear width : 45
wheelbase : 67
height (body) : 28
i forgot to explain i bought this mold to an ex modelmaker who was working for pilots of the real 1/1 cars (venturi cup, lola, ferrari f40, mac laren, etc...) These are real 1/4 scale, he was lucky to work with the real car in his garage to make molds! so thanks to "Pygme maquette"
