Response to Conv. Trumpeters GT-40 to a J-Car?!

That would be 1/12 of an inch, or 0.0833333", or somewhere between 3/32" and 1/16".
As for a J-car, you could try sculpting the nose and tail parts from modelling clay, RenFoam, or even floral foam; cover the form with light-weight fibreglas, then lose the form. An earlier Mk.I would take considerably more work to replicate the smaller 289cid chassis, but you might be able to use an old IMC kit to get the dimensions for a scratch-build attempt.

Just a thought
