Thanks John.....Mr Kristofferson is an ideal container for a few fingers of smokey scotch......I wish that his sessions with Rita Coolidge were of a higher audio quality......maybe someday the audio wizards can make it so

hi Pete...."22472/4D Welly - 1972 Volkswagen T2 Bus. 1:24 scale diecast collectible model car. This VW T-2 Bus is a 7.25"L x 2.75"W x 2.75"H diecast metal car with openable side door & hatchback.This 1972 Volkswagen T2 Bus is manufactured by Welly. Item 22472/4D is in assorted colors."
as you can see by the 1/1 specs converted to 1/24,this model comes very close to the 1/24 scale
1/1 Length 177.4" ÷ 24 = 7.39" (vs 7.25 Welly)
1/1 Width 67.7" ÷ 24 = 2.82" (vs 2.75 Welly)
