I don't know how to scale it up to 1/8, however maybe Ozgur can assist you with his computer program. His street Cobra came out pretty nice. The toolmaking dept. at Revell/Monogram Models had a tool to convert scale tool masters. They successfully increased the 1/43 scale '67 Corvette to 1/24 several years ago. |
I agree and have been taking a closer look at the shape of the body, especially the rear end and the proportion of overall width to overall length. I am not opposed to scrapping what I have and making another attempt. Thanks for the feedback on the MPC kit shape and proportions... that will help me to know it's pretty dead on...this feedback is why I joined this site... I figured that if anybody knew the rights and wrongs of these cars, it was you guys here. Are you in agreement with Ozgur's observation and my critiques? Any input is appreciated and I'm thick skinned. I'd rather do it right than not. I don't want to get down the road with this and have everybody say "yeah it's cool, but..."
Thanks guys,
Garey
