1/24 and 1/25

Real quick question- Is 1/24 a big difference from 1/25? Thanks, I am looking for a supra and eclipse but can't find them in 1/24 so is 1/25 about the same? Thanks....

Re: 1/24 and 1/25

Some people can tell the difference, some can't. For reference, a 100" wheelbase in 1/24 scale is 4.167", and in 1/25 scale it's 4". 1/24 cars are about 4-5% bigger than 1/25, assuming the car is even the correct dimensions for that given scale in the first place.

You should be able to find a Supra in 1/24, where have you been looking?

There are four generations of Supra. If it's the Mk. IV, Hobbylinc has the Tamiya kit for $16.69, and also at Best1 Hobby for $19.80
