Title: what size flag for a 1:24 scale melita
Post by: dannymax on June 19, 2006, 02:37:23 pm

I must be totally dumb or my mind closes down every time i look at the flag size calculator, what is the size I should be ordering for this type of TSDY when the scale is 1/24

I know what you mean!
If the ensign is [in real life] 3 feet x 2 feet, then your model's flag would be 1 1/2" x 1". A larger 4 feet x 3 feet ensign would be 2" x 1 1/2".
Hope that may help
