Edison Giocattoli Lancia Lince 1/43 too small?

Last edited by 91ken : 03-12-2008 at 05:31 AM. Reason: grammar
I recently bought three Edison Giocattoli models: the Italian Sahariana, the Trattore and the Lancia Lince. I was wondering whether anyone else who has bought the Lancia noticed it's very small size, despite it's supposedly 1/43 scale. I don't have my models accessible right now or I would take a picture, but placed side-by-side, there is a striking difference in size in the Lancia compared to the other two. Shortly after I bought these (internet retail), I also put my 1/43 JFK limo, which has figures included, next to these three and there is no way one of those figures could fit inside the Lancia. It is just too tiny.

I know scales are not always perfect, but the Lancia model is really, really small compared to all my other 1/43 models. It's almost as small as a matchbox model. Here's a page on ebay that shows all three, although the small size of the Lancia is not apparent.

So, anyone else notice this and know the reason for it?

Here's a picture of the Lancia armored car:
