Scale
« on: June 17, 2022, 10:02:50 am »
Hi,


As I am totally useless with anything to do with scale, could someone check this out.


Landing Craft at 1/72 scale



35 feet long x 12 = 420


420 diveded by 72 =5.8 inches

If you want bigger numbers, convert to metric


    148.2mm OR 14.82cm (If you need dressmakers sizes)   {-)

Thank you for the reply to my question.


The LSI is 35 feet in length and for once in my life I have got it right.


But knowing me I will be back.

The smallest landing craft were the LCAs which were about 45ft. An LSI, a landing ship infantry, was a much larger merchant ship that carried the LCAs.

But it keeps 'em on the knife.
