Ship models are unique because the originals are so large. Sometimes we see very large commercial jets at 1:144, but this is uncommon with smaller planes. For car models, the most common scale is 1:24 for military models, either 1:35 or 1:48 for aircraft, 1:32, 1:48, or 1:72. Most categories of models have a range of common scales that make the type of model manageable for the average person both to complete and display. To put it another way, if your 1:10 scale model is one foot long, the real thing is ten feet long. The further the second number gets from 1, the smaller the model kit is compared to the original.If a model were 1:10 that means that it is one tenth the size of the original. If a model were 1:1, that means that one foot on the model is equal to one foot on the original, so in this case the model would be full-size.
The two numbers are a ratio: telling you how many units on the real thing are equal to one unit on the model.
Basically, the scale tells you how much a model has been shrunk relative to the size of the original. The model kits we carry come in numerous scales, ranging from 1:10 to 1:2500, and we're asked to explain scale all the time. The most common kits found moulded in plastic make scale models of cars and trucks, military vehicles and figures, ships and boats, and aircraft. I'll be talking about plastic model kits and what you need to complete them. Most model kits will also require some painting to complete so they appear like they do on the box. Depending on the material, you may be putting the model together using glue, screws, small nails, or a combination of the three. The kits we sell at Hobby and Toy Central come in a variety of materials, including plastics, metal, and wood (usually balsa wood). The defining characteristic of model kits is that they come in several small pieces that need to be assembled to make the final product. If you're ready to start a new hobby, read on. This handy guide will go over some of the most common questions about models and will help you pick out your first kit and supplies. Perhaps it’s time to try the incredibly rewarding hobby of model building. So you want to build something with your own two hands, but you've grown tired of bricks and blocks.
