I stated in an earlier post that the cars in this set were all 1/43 scale...
...I lied :-)
After taking photos and comparing several of the vehicles to others in my diecast collection, it's apparent that not all of the vehicles in the 'Antique Classics 3' set are 1/43. Let's take these Jaguars I posted yesterday and today and check out how they compare to 1/43 scale cars in my collection:
I don't know, is it just me or does the Jag look a bit oversized when compared to another car from the set?
The Jag seems a bit wide. I've noticed other cars in this set marked "1/38" on the chassis (but not this one - the underside is devoid of any identification on this one)
Sooo, could this be 1/38 scale?
The car on the left is 1/43 scale - the Jag?
Maybe if I were to see one of these Jaguar's in person it might help my scale perspective but the miniature appears larger than it should be next to the '55 Chevy Bel Air
Another clue that this is not 1/43 scale: the opening hood with engine detail. Having had many 1/43 scale vehicles, that's a feature one doesn't normally find in the smaller cars. Opening trunks yes, opening hoods with engines, seldom.
In any case, here's the Jag in dark green - Enjoy! Opa Fritz
