At 70mph, the 3-sec rule says 93 meters , approximately 23 car lengths. At 165kph (ground speed of Gundam), the 3-sec rule says one MS should leave 137.5m (>7 MS heights) space behind the MS in front. At 1/144 (HGUC) scale, that's 95.5cm. Bottomline: the ~5cm gap on the HGUC stands violates the 3-sec rule by 1900%. -- Dr. Core -------------------------------------------------- The Gundam Mailing List MK-II [email protected] Archives: http://www.gundam.com/gml Help: Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with this in the BODY: help list
