hey THEMAN,
You are amazing. Excellent find.
Now that you have identified the cap it makes perfect sense that it would be Rizoma.

Here are two photo-images of my Hot Wheels Elite DOJ 1/18th which is really much closer to 1/25th.

I calculated from the model that the refueling area is 12-1/2" X 9-3/8".

Once we know the Rizoma part diameter we can figure it exactly.

Yep, that's what I thought. So I wonder what the "door" thing is. It may just be something they carved in and just wasn't included in this 3d model.

precisely...that $208 would be better spent towards a higher priority like purchasing the Rizoma side mechanics we've already ID'ed that are way more visible than spending 208 on the fuel door not many will be able to see clearly on top of the vehicle. We know exactly what it looks like, so really a circle with 5 bolts around the perimeter in that top door is all that's really needed if desired. There are already many other liberties taken throughout the vehicle anyway that we're building "close enough" interpretations.

There are some close enoughs with 5 bolt fuel caps we could use for a tad cheaper... ex: for $22

Don't forget width matters when on public roads even in Motha Russia

Moscow police seize custom 'Batmobile' over concerns that it does not fit road safety regulations

Yep, we have done our research and will have our cars slightly reduced in size to reach road width requirements. That's the big reason I had to scrap a totally milled body and start again. The first one was too big.

Glad we have someone with your impressive skills on our side. I wouldn't have even known where to start with these.
