A while ago I started building a 1:24 scale model of my car. When buying parts, I found there to be little to no difference between the 1:24 & 1:25 scale parts...I assumed it was more of a difference in phrasing than an actual difference in true ratio.
Now, I'm moving up to a 1:18 Ertl DieCast car as my base, and most of the aftermarket parts I'm seeing are being sold as 1:16. My question is...is this a similar scenario that I encountered with my 1:24 scale build? Will most of the 1:16 parts be compatible with my 1:18 body? I understand that not everything will ever fit perfectly, but I just don't want to receive my engine block and find it's comically large for my frame/underhood, or my rear end to be too large for my subframe. Any experience/knowledge would be helpful! Thanks!
