So maybe a scale of 1:20 or 1:25 is more accurate for this model?

I also found this, which looks like the same one, but this one is listed as 1:28 scale.

Good find! That 1:28 is the same as that so called "1:10 scale", which is why I was also questioning the length 40cm.
Too good to be true. It would have been a fun project indeed if it was 1:10 or better yet closer to 1:14
