1:18 Scale GH Black Beauty from AutoArt announced last year

[BATWINGED HORNET]

Anyone know the dimensions of the real Black Beauty. I am curious about the 1:1 scale comparisons of the real cars. These 1/18 models look like a 300 sedan beside a Miata

That's what I wondered sometime back...

I'm so glad to see this. Hey, the scales are not really matching, but for a real world comparison, what are the scales of the real BB and BM? Would that help accepting the die cast scales? Or is it too inaccurate?

If you compare the 1/18 scale resin Futura with the BM and BB, it matches the BB.

Mattel has left room for a true 1/18 scale car.

Yes they could make a true 1:18th Batmobile as the one they made was not true in scale.

Thanks for the pics, A. Pennyworth. Well, no matter how many changes and releases, there will never be accuracy of in-company (meaning Dozier-based products, not manufacturers) with scale. Disappointing.

Thanks John!

Did you post that on the Green Hornet Thread on Facebook yet?

Mattel - so close, and yet so far

If you didn't know the scale, you'd swear the Batmobile was 1/55, while the others were 1/43.
