Hi- first pic is of a johnny Lightning frightning Lightning from my collection. Basically same size as a regular hot wheels and was sold in late 90s. Did my best to build it scaled up. There are lots of various color schemes but this is one of my favorites. The proton pack is 3D printed from thingiverse.com

Love the variant color. What scale is that in?

The ECTO-1 and ECTO-1A model kits are both 1:25 scale. So presumably that.

Ok cool. Wasn't sure what size they were and couldn't gauge it from the pictures. Thanks.

Thanks again all.

Yes, the kit is the AMT reissue which is 1/25 scale and the johnny Lightning is 1/64 I believe.

I used a Testors spray can for the paint with a couple coats of clear after I applied the decals.
