Scale difference
« on: October 08, 2014, 05:33:23 AM »
Do you think it mattersif you use a 1/33 drawing to go with a 1/32 model? I have tried everything I can think of to convert a 1/33 drawing to 1/32 and nothing seems to accept the change. Its only .031%. What do you guys think?

Hello James, you're out by two decimal places. Multiply the 1/33rd drawing by 103.125% to give 1/32nd scale.

Hope that helps!

I strongly doubt anyone would be able to notice the difference between 1/33 and 1/32 scale. Go for it!

you can always take the actual span of the plane you want to model and divide by 32 and measure against your plans and see how far out it is.i find alot of stuff is off by a smidge though and i dont think 1/32 to 1/33 would be noticeable unless you pull out a ruler.
