fasteagle12 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I'm looking to find the conversion of the F/A-18C/D sensor probes. The 1/48 Hasegawa kit measures .385. Rather than screw it up, can anyone tell me what the dimension would be in 1/72? Thanks for any help! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
arg Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 1 - Full-size measurement would be .385 x 48 = 18.48 in 2 - In 1/72 scale, 18.48 / 72 = .256666667 which would be approximately .257 in Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 More succinctly, 0.385 x (48/72) = 0.257 It just the ratio of the scales. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Hasegawa parts aren't correct and shouldn't be used as a basis for new ones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Since you attempted them, do you have the dimensions for them that you can share? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Since you attempted them, do you have the dimensions for them that you can share? I was actually able to get successful prints and have a couple dozen sets in stock. However, I do have drawings with measurements. I'll post them tomorrow as I'm out of the office for the night. https://www.flyingleathernecksdecals.com/p/fl172-2061-pitot-tubes-for-fa-18a-d-f-14-a-7-f-8-av-8b Quote Link to post Share on other sites
