Re: Fujimi Mercedes 190E 2.5 16v

I think I will go on here posting instead of opening a real WIP thread in that section (mostly cause I know myself and I wellknow I cannot offer a decent and costantly update progress on this model still....), and then I would like to focus on some interesting details of this model.
Listening to other modellers and from the first appeal I had opening the box it seems fujimi kit is a little bit undersized, so I decided to keep the measure from the previous very welldone website and compare to what I have in hands.
The guy talks of those datas for the 1991 Evo car:
Technique: Track front/ rear 1470mm/ 1455mm, wheelbase 2665mm, length 4563mm, width 1706mm, heigth 1300mm, weight 980kg, 9800 revs/ min max. and 360 bhp end of the season

that divided in 24 means a width for this year car becomes 71mm, while for the following year one becomes 73.
So I took measures..and fujimi car looks like this:



that in my eyes loks like a 73 exactly.
So now I know the car is not slim but is nearly too large..
