Peter,
best bet is to take a part say the wing ect blow the scale up to what you think it is place the wing on it if it's not right scale up/down until right, I've done it with a wheel before and by the time I matched the drawing against the kit it was a good match

Thanks Mike
but I was asking for the percentage for young Bat-21 re: Fury plans.
I've got a whole article including 1/72nd plans in our scanning dept for print out to send to him and thought it might be a good idea to include the % increase so he can just blow them up.
Cheers

test this:

pecentage for enlarging/reducing = scale origin / scale destiny *100

scale origin = 72
scale destiny = 48

pecentage for enlarging/reducing = 72/48 *100 = 150%
