I am not sure of the actual length of this model car. At 1/43 scale it would be approximately 160 mm long; based on the theoretical full scale design of the FAB1 at about 682 cm (about 22.4 feet long) divided by 43.
...But Amie's 1/18 scale FAB 1 from two years back was about 350mm long, which makes the 1/43 scale version approximately 146 mm long maybe  .
The Dinky car is about 140 - 143 mm long.
So, I guess it is about the same size as the Dinky car...maybe a little bigger.
