Is anyone familiar with the National Motor Museum Mint products? Here's one I'm thinking of buying, advertised as 1/43. This one is referred to as a Model T Ford, and the style suggests pre-1910. It seems to be of relatively modern production. There just aren't many antique cars represented in our scale, or so it seems to me, but I'm not sure this is really 1/43 in scale; I most often see this company's products as 1/32. Information will be appreciated.
Hi David,
I would be doubtful about 1/43. I have a dozen or so of the 1/32 issues and have never seen any in 1/43.
@david-green Thanks, David. I appreciate your input. David (the other one) H
I have only seen 1/32 but they are very nice quality. (Factory Antique Mall in Verona VA I-81))

Thanks, Frank and Larry. Yes, these look like fine models, but the scale just isn't my favorite. I will just continue in my "1/43 comfort zone."

What I sometimes do to verify the scale accuracy is research on Google the 1:1 cars wheelbase, and or length, (WB of Model T Ford, 100 inches or 2.3 in 43rd) and ask the Ebay seller what the offering measures. Wellys are often off scale but this 1953 Chevrolet turned out to be spot on.
