Re: My brain hurts!

Always bear on mind you must check: (a) Is the original plan correct or has it shrunk or stretched in the printing process? (b) Is the enlarged plan the correct size? Calculate what a couple of key dimensions are (eg length and width)before you leave home, take your rule of choice with you (inches o...

Re: My brain hurts!

Steve

I always take 100 divide the the scale you have, ie in this case 6 = 16.6666667

Now take 100 divide by the scale you want, ie in this case 4 = 25

Then divide the 25 by 16.6666667 = 1.5

So you want your 1/6 drawing enlarged by 1.5 OR (in other words) you want it enlarged 150%

Simples :-)

I believe (in accord with John Greenfield and many others) that the name of our Association should be kept as it is. Throughout my professional career I have known many Companies "re-brand" (to use the modern term) but I cannot think of one that changed their name or even extended it. The ...

Re: Ivan Goodchild

Very sorry to hear this John. Ivan was an inspiration to many and always willing to share knowledge. We will sadly miss his visits to our Field. He was also a true gentleman. RIP Ivan...... on behalf of all at the North London RCMFC.

The Revell one I remember was smaller then 1/48, probably "box scale" as was often the case back then :D , I am talking mid/late 1950's.

Re: Convair YF2Y-1 Sea Dart

Beautiful aircraft Phil, loved it since I was a kid.

Looking forward to this one.

There was a Revell kit many moons ago if you can find one now - may help a little.
