Ello frager, Just getting my little toe wet in PA my self but most folks use1/43 or there abouts for 28mm.I've heard hot wheels work nice with 20mm though. |

For 28mm,no they are too small. 1/43,1/48 or 1/50 "LOOK" right. Uncle Brian |

Some have them marked on the package,but you can size'em up with a fig.Seems the scale varies a good bit from the car makers.I'm lazy so I just mark on my fingers roughly the 28mm scale. |

FRAGER, Stick to 20mm for hot wheels cars, there are various 20mm manufactures that make miniatures you can use in hot wheels. I use stuff from Liberation miniatures try their web site at RH Models.com. For a look at my converted Hotwheels and 20mm liberation miniatures check out my thread at POAT APOC Wacky races, hope this helps.... |
