Re: Mercedes W08 in 1/12
I believe the maximum width of 2017 F1 car should be 2000 mm. Would the width of a 1/12 model be 166.67 mm?
184,4 mm seems to be too wide for a W08.

I believe 2000mm excludes the tyres, perhaps 184mm includes the tyres?CK wrote:I believe the maximum width of 2017 F1 car should be 2000 mm. Would the width of a 1/12 model be 166.67 mm?

This project is superb. I can’t wait for the model to be released so that I can add a modern, large scale F1 model to my collection that isn’t red.
