Scale Spreadsheet By: Tim Doty

I made up this spreadsheet as a reference for scale size conversions and for sizing certain parts. Just find the 1:1 size you are looking for, and the scale equivalent is shown in inches and millimeters. Converting from one scale to another is a matter of finding the actual measurement in the scale you are working with, and find those same numbers (or as close as possible) under a different scale. This explanation is probably harder to use than the actual table.

1/27th scale is included for the Maisto (among others) diecasts whose parts might be useful for 1/24-1/25th scale projects. Or, you might even want to detail one of the 1/27th vehicles.
