True, but I don't think anyone expects a 1:16 vehicle to look right next to other 1:18 vehicles.
While I'm going to build one of these kits (because they are cool without figures even), I suspect I'll end up gutting and mangling some 1:18th cars so that the figs fit for a full DoH setup. It's not like they make other usable models in 1:16th, so that's really the only option.
