Are you sure, because in Kyosho terminology, F10 denotes a 1/10 scale...

EDIT : yes you got it right Richard, the Formula one version is 1/8 while the proto cars are 1/10 scale...
EDIT2 : Jim, your car do not have the Formula 1 spoiler, so it is indeed 1/10 :-)

Thanks so much guys! I am very appreciative. 

I am 99% sure it was 1/8 scale as it was the same size as my Tamiya TGX I had at the time.

This bears more looking into....

TGX are real 1/8 size. But more 1/10 big scale. Kyosho did pureten to stick for size like tamiya 1/10. If your kyosh is same size than the tgx it's a 1/10. The shocks are like the pure ten mk2. Early 2000 period. Or little before.
