rs2man Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Can anyone please confirm the height of the underwing serials on RAF Hunter & Canberra aircraft ? I need a set of white serials for a 1/32 Hunter & I'm hoping I could use a set from a 1/48 Canberra . I think Hunter serials are 24 inch & Canberras are 36 , but I could do with confirmation before I splash out on a decal sheet . Thanks in advance John Green Nantwich , Cheshire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stever219 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 If my maths “O”-level is still functioning, and incipient Alzheimer’s is having a night off, you’re going to need characters 3/4 of an inch high, so 36 inch characters in 1/48 scale. (24 inches is 3/4 of 32 inches, therefore 3/4 inch characters required. 36 is 3/4 of 48 so using 1/48 characters use 36 inch sized.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only ones I found were the Model Alliance Canberra serials which I was hoping were 36 inch , but it seems they're more likely 48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
