Scale Comparison - 1/48th vs. 1/35th

Size/Scale Accuracy

I wanted to measure and compare the kits side by side and see how they measure up. I found this great website while doing research on this project. It gave me some very good measurements. I measured each completed kit at the same locations, making sure I started and stopped at the same places.

The following table shows the actual life size measurement along side the converted size with the kits actual measurements. All measurements are rounded to the nearest whole number.

Measurement	1:1	Actual 1/48	Kit 1/48	Actual 1/35	Kit 1/35
Wheel Base	2400 mm	50 mm	49 mm	69 mm	70 mm
Length	3700 mm	78 mm	75 mm	106 mm	104 mm
Width	1600 mm	33 mm	33 mm	46 mm	45 mm
Height (no top)	1111 mm	23 mm	23 mm	32 mm	31 mm

Overall it’s not bad, there are some differences. The differences appear to be consistent between the two kits. The measurements speak for themselves. There aren’t any gross size differences.
