Cabs 11 and 12 measurements needed!

[Peter Mossong]

Hi to all. I have a need for some 1:1 scale measurements of the 11 and 12 cabs
as in the photos I have posted below. I have done a good search of this site, and have found some basic measurements given, but do need some further clarifications.

I have several 1:35 scale CMP kits from 2 different model kit producers, and there appears to be some major differences in the size of their interpretations of the No.11 and No.12 cabs! Strangely, both of their No.13 cabs measure almost exactly the same size...

If someone with access to these cabs could get a chance to measure them up for me (either imperial or metric) I would be most grateful.

Cheers,
Pete M.

Hi Peter: Next time I'm at the shop, I'll give you your measurements for the Cab 12. But it will take me a few weeks. I'm just very busy right now. If that works for you let me know. Cheers .....Robert

Hi Robert. Will be much appreciated. No rush, as I've got plenty of other research do do in the meantime!

Also more Kiwi CMP images to process and post.

Cheers,

Hi Robert (or any other 11/12 cab owners on the forum). Have you had a chance to check out those 11/12 cab measurements as yet?

Cheers,

Hi Peter; PM me your email address and I'll send them down to you. I've had them here for a bit, but work has me swamped to the nines. You can post them on the forum if you like, I not sure how that works.
Cheers.....Robert

723.9mm maybe?

[Peter Mossong]

Thanks for catching that Ilian..I mistakenly entered the imperial measurement!

Now corrected.

Hi to all. Dale Law has now sent me the front cab measurements from his F15A.
There appear to be some slight variations to Robert's Chev, but as I mentioned to Dale, 'Close enough for government work'!

P.s. Anyone else with an 11 or 12 cab able to add to the list?
