I suspect it is bigger than that.

The website says,"This is the original prototype vehicle, built from scratch. It is half scale and is based on the running gear of a garden tractor, using an 11.5 hp Briggs and Stratton petrol engine. It has a 5 speed gearbox and the rear axle incorporates a differential"
and
"Start your build with a 'Chassis Only' pack.
Comprising 23 drawings (all in colour) and a 63 page, step by step build manual, with over 50 photographs and illustrations to build a complete 44" chassis suitable for any of our models."

Remember that 5/8th scale model at Cooma? It looked much less than half size at first glance. Maybe that is because 1/2 length x 1/2 width x 1/2 height gives 1/8 volume.

So maybe looking that the overall volume gives a misleading idea of the scale.
