Help needed sizing decals.....

I have a Hawker Fury I on the run in for the Centenary GB here. I need some 48th, 30 inch underwing serials and no one seems to do a sheet.

What would be the nearest equivalent size-wise if I moved to a 72nd scale sheet???

 

T.I.A....

Sorry, I think I'm confusing everyone. to use Britjet's post as a guide - if in 48th, 30" equates to 15.8mm, what would be the nearest size to 15.8mm in 72nd?

Thanks for the quick reply Britjet.

It is simple to calculate the scale dimension of the real thing.

 

An aircraft 14:00 feet long. Just divide that real length dimension by the scale.

For 1/48 divide 14 by 48

For 1/72 divide 14 by 72

 

By the way in 48 scale 30" in the real would not be 15.8mm

 

30 inches in 1/48 is .625inches

750mm (30" equivalent) 15.6mm

30" (750mm) being the real size just divide it by 72

 

In mm 72 scale  10.4mm

 

In inches 72 scale  .41 inches
