"A certain coyote will be pleased with the scale" -- can only mean 4.191 meters = 1 furlong

Ah! 1 furlong, or 1 long furrow = 10 chains or 40 rods.
4.191 meters = .2083 chains or .8333 rods.
But, to be technical, a US furlong, scaled appropriately for this topic = 4.19100833 metres as compared to the imperial furlong which equates to 4.191 metres. We need to get this right or Mr Pheons stickers might be up to 1/1,000,000 of 4.191 metres too big!  ???
Which just wouldn't do!
With the comforting knowledge that I have meaningfully contributed to this topic, I shall now return to my glass of red  ;D

cheers all.

it will be 1/48. all copper state models have always be 1/48. it is a great scale imho. 1/72 is too small,this makes it too hard to put reasonable detail in a matter more than just a suggestion that the detail exists. 1/32 is a nice size but its big enuff that one can get lost in super detailing parts to a realistic scale interpretation of the real thing. 1/48 is great because its large enuff to add reasonable detail(my opinion) but not so large to need the super duper details and take up a whole kitchen table with 3 models. all my views of course but these things plus the fact that there are many more diff types in 1/48 than 1/32 available makes it most attractive to me.

If it's only half as good as the magnificent Gaspatch Salmson I'll be delighted. What riches are promised for us!

Best wishes

It looks as though he's doing both cowlings - the square and the rounded, as well as long and short radiators! Should make for plenty of options, especially if both gear options are catered for too!
