peter havriluk Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I've assembled two Heller models, a 1/72 Vought Corsair and a 1/48 Piper L-4. Both seem small for their age...the Corsair engine is smaller in diameter by a whole lot compared to a Matchbox Hellcat with the same Pratt & Whitney radial, and the Piper sure seems smaller than it should be when sitting next to a 1/48 Cessna Bird dog. Am I missing something, or did Heller run to 1/75 and 1/50 scales? Or so? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cubs2jets Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 The Heller L-4 was originally listed as 1/50 scale. I think late boxings may have said 1/48. The actual airplane has a wingspan of 35 ft 3 inches or 423 inches. 1/48 scale would be 8.8125 inches. 1/50 would be 8.46 inches. What does your finished model measure?
