I guess you'd need to know which model / car. As there isn't a standard size NACA duct?

Did you measure the dimensions? I almost don't believe that they are all exactly identical, as Tyronne has already written.
And I don't think there is anything there either.
I made some myself for an M7B.
But I haven't seen it as a "standard element" yet.
But of course a lot is possible. ;)

NACA ducts come in all sorts of shapes and sizes (long, short, wide and deep) dependent on the amount of air needed, thus a small NACA duct in 1/24 scale could work just as well as a larger duct in 1/43 scale. Click on this link:
http://www.formula1-dictionary.net/naca_duct.html
For an explanation.
To see NACA ducts of different sizes that I have made in 1/12 scale on the nose of the 312B2 Ferrari and on the engine cover of the McLaren M16 click on this link:

Alternatively put “NACA duct design” into the search engine of your choice click and be prepared to be overwhelmed with information.
