Jimi,

I may have this wrong but I think it works this way...

1:48 scale means that a every inch of the model = 4 foot (48 inches) ....
1:72 scale means that a every inch of the model = 6foot (72 inches) ....

scale works well for imperial measurements cos it goes in 12s .. not so good or metric...

I once had a formula for figuring scaling of models. Such as 1:48, 1:72 etc.
I for the life of me can not find it. For example, a 143 foot real item
would be 43" in 1:75 scale. I have tried every math equation I can think of
to make this work, but have missed the mark every time. Would anyone by
chance happen to have the formula for scaling a real item to a particular
scale for a model?
Thanks,
Jimi
