hey sly,
Now that is one wicked machine.
Can't wait to see how it looks with paint! vertigo
Yeah, I didn't think the rear wheels would make such a dramatic difference but they really do. All of a sudden it looks ... right.
I'm going to have to get that model. Spending my reserve cash on an AKG in-ear monitor system right now, so I will need to wait a little while.

Here is an interesting photo image comparison of the Jada, Moebius, and Hot Wheels Elite B v S DOJ Batmobiles.
The Jada is 1:25 scale.
The Moebius is 1:25 scale.
The Hot Wheels Elite is 1:18
If you compare the Jada against the Hot Wheels, the scale differences are pretty obvious.
If you compare the Jade against the Moebius it looks like the Moebius might be closer to 1:18 than 1:25 scale.
If you compare the Moebius against the Hot Wheels they look a lot closer in actual scale than the 1:25 / 1:18 relationship would indicate. vertigo

| Wow! That is interesting. I think the Jada is 1:24 imperial and the Hot Wheels is 1:18 imperial while the Moebius is 1:25 metric. Maybe that's what the difference is. I have both the Jada and the Moebius but I never even thought to put them side by side. I just assumed they would be about the same size.

Now that is one super wicked looking machine. Can't wait to see it take form in your real Batman build.
Didn't see Batman in costume. As long as he stays in his batsuit his identity should be protected.
By the way here is a set of plug in variable scale conversion calculators that might find useful.
Here is something that you might find invaluable when using scale
models to build Bat Vehicles. Will save you vast time and headaches
from making scaling calculation errors.
Go to Wikipedia
Search: LIST OF SCALE MODEL SIZES
Here you will find virtually every scaling relationship and common
uses, related to each scale and their reference by: RATIO, INCHES per
foot, and MILLIMETERS.
Scroll down to the end of this list and under the ADDITIONAL RESOURCE
section and you will find a click on link to a SCALE CONVERSION
CALCULATOR.
Under the SCALE CONVERSION CALCULATOR you will find three, very easy
to use, plug in the variables, conversion calculators.
CONVERT FROM REAL-LIFE TO SCALE
CONVERT FROM SCALE TO REAL-LIFE
CONVERT FROM ONE MODEL SCALE DIMENSION TO ANOTHER SCALE DIMENSION
