Default P47 versus P40 wheelbase

I'm considering either Top Flite's giant scale P47 arf or their new giant scale P40 arf. I like the P40 better but I'm concerned about the narrower wheelbase. Does anyone know the wheelbase (wheel center to center where the they touch the ground) of either of these models? Thanks in advance.

If you are concerned about gound gandling, the P-47 will be much better with it's wide stance gear.

I realize that the P40 has a narrower gear. I'm just trying to figure out what the dimension difference is. I prefer the P40 and I know how to use the rudder and cross controll. Just trying to get an idea of the difference.
Thanks.

I have flown both of these planes, and I agree that the P-40 has a better look to it, but the P-47 is head and shoulders above it in every aspect of flight
