72linerlover Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 (edited) Hi, all Sometimes it happens that some questions reappear periodically: Which is the reducing ratio between 1/48 and 1/72 scales? How to get a dimension in scale? And so on. Apart of the traditional method, using a calculator, I use an Excell (or Open Office calc as well) spreadsheet I have configured with some formulas. If any is interested, it is free downloadable here: http://rapidshare.com/files/260606024/conversions.xls.html If the 10 free downloads expire, please pm me and I'll send it directly.

terryt Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Here is a calculator to do all the calculations you need for any scale. http://home.bresnan.net/~crenshaw/scalecalc.zip Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Edgar Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Knock off the 1/ first. Then divide what you have (48) by what you want (72) = 48/72 = 2/3, or 67% (close enough for most government work.) Works both ways, up or down. Edgar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JackMan Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 There's also a Scale Converter on ARC's Tools & Tips section: http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/TNT.htm (Click on the F-4 Phantom pic to download the converter) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
