KingSix Posted December 6, 2012 Author Share Posted December 6, 2012 Thank you !! I finally figured it out . .024, just shy of a 1/4 " sometimes I forget what I know , if that makes any sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JollySipper Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Not meaning to undermind the above post, but if you remove 6 mm that's about 6 in. in scale.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjordan2 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Scale size, as noted, is .24 inches or .61 centimeters. I don't mess with my own calculations (because it makes my head hurt) and just go to the scale converter at the very bottom of this page, which I've bookmarked: http://www.scalemotorcars.com/forum/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 (edited) Ummmmmm, ANY scale expressed as a fraction like 1/25 means the model is, for instance, ONE TWENTY-FIFTH the size of the real one. You simply divide by the denominator (in 1/25, the denominator is the number on the bottom........25) of WHATEVER scale you're working in. Never fails, always works. 6 inches divided by 25 = .24" as stated above. In 1/18 scale, 6 inches divided by 18 = .33333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333.................................... OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
