Scales Defined

We understand that many of you may have questions about scales, and we're here to help clarify! Think of scales as fractions. For example, a 1:24 scale means the item is 1/24th the size of the real-life version. So, the smaller the number in the fraction, the larger the replica will be. On the flip side, the larger the number, the smaller the model. To put it simply, a 1:25 scale replica would be twice as big as a 1:50 scale replica of the same item. We hope this helps, but feel free to reach out if you have any more questions!

For Example

As an example, if you have a 12 foot long vehicle, then the model size at scale would be:

Scale	Length
1:1	12 feet
1:12	1 foot
1:24	6 inches
1:48	3 inches
1:72	2 inches
