Thread: Furuta Size Question for the Wise

  1. #1

    Default Furuta Size Question for the Wise

    My dear fellow mates:

    Can some of you tell me the scale of the following Furuta Choco Egg planes:

    Me-262
    Fairey Swordfish
    Do-335 Pfeil

    Fokker Dr.1 Dreidecker
    Fokker D.VII

    Thanks,

    Joaquim

    Easy way to check scale of aircraft is to take the wingspan of the model and divide it by the actual wingspan of the real aircraft.
    This gives you the scale.
    Example wingspan of Fokker Dr1 7200mm (7.2m) Divide by wingspan of WOW DR1 50mm
    7200\50= 144
    Hope this is of help

    Thanks Linz.
    I think I wasn't clear, sorry.
    I now how to find a scale.

    I was hoping that someone had these planes and could measure them to see if they are at the proper scales (1/200 for ww2 and 1/144 for WW1).

    Thumbs up

    NO, NO, whatever you do, do NOT eat these Aircraft.
    Well maybe if they are Dark Chocolate.

    here is what I have found;
    Hawk III is the same length as the F3F, which makes it pretty close to 144.
    Sopwith triplane that the wingspan scales at 1/110,
    Curtiss P-6 that scales out to 1/125,
    meteor is 1/160,
    Mig31is close to 1/200,
    series 4 P-51D (scale 1/140),
    series 6 Type 91 Willow (scale 1/140)
    P-38 is 1/196,
    Do-335 Pfeil 1/180
    Nakajima J1N1 Gekko (Irving) 1/205,
    F4U-1D Corsair 1/160
    P-47D Thunderbolt 1/150

    There USED to be a good website on infoseek.co.jp that had the scales AND HERE IT IS:
