I like those kits, have a few. How does it scale out??? thx

[Matt Bacon]

They are generally pretty close to 1/24, but not always the same scale lengthwise as widthwise! That's because the "Lego-like" construction is actually Lego compatible, so the dimensions and spacing of the studs and sockets on the parts are fixed. Effectively, like on a real car, the shapes of the external surfaces are constrained by the "hard points" inside where the blocks lock together. So the width can be ten studs or eleven studs or 12 studs, but not 10.5. Ditto the length. IIRC the McLaren P1 was something like 1/26 in length but 1/22.5 wide. The designer has to choose the best-looking compromise that also allows for a sensible assembly (eg in my example, 10 studs or 12 studs wide makes sense, 11 not so much...). They look good, though, IMHO.

best,

M.

Very nice build, I too have two of these kits to mess with sometime. I like the way yours looks.

Great looking Lamborghini.

Nice! Sort of reminds me of those stealth aircraft.

Hey Dave. Thank you. I'm not sure of the scale. I have built almost every QUICK BUILD they made. Nice afternoon projects. Getting harder to find.

[ewetwo]

Thank you Matt, David, James, Garry, Michelle, Carl and Larry. ? 

[PatW]

Yes very nice indeed.

Wonderful white color for a Lamborghini. Yes.

Nice, I like these QuickBuild kits!

[ewetwo]

Thank you Patrick, Robert and Bill. I like them too Bill.

That Lambo looks real nice, I'm hoping to get the 1960s Mustang but just wondering about the scale. If all glued together is it to big for a slot car conversion?

 

[ewetwo]

Thank you John. The Mustang measures 7 inches long.
