<VV> 69 Monza O gauge 1/25 vs. 1/43 vs. 1/48

[Charles Lee]

Here are some pix of the Yat Ming "1/43" scale diecast compared to the 
Renwall
(plastic) 1965 Corsa which is alleged to be "1/48" scale.

The Yat Ming diecast is approx 4.25" long which is pretty close to 1/43 
scale.

The Renwall plastic version is 3.85" and seems to be a scaled-down version 
of the AMT 1/25 scale model, even down to the 'errors' in the AMT chassis 
being duplicated 'verbatim'.

The pix in Ken's link show a different color than was available separately 
for the same model that is included on the 'car carrier' train car.
