too high but not enough for me to work on a model that appears fragile and cost what it did.

I also haven't seen a good static side view of the 1:1 as it ran in the Targa Florio to know how high it sat then. A couple shots I saw showed different clearances between the wheel and the front fender but the car was in motion so it wasn't clear how much load was being put on the front end due to braking, acceleration or turning.

Here's a better side shot that was taken straight on as opposed to being centered between the two models.
