Does anyone know how big a 1/48 hustler actually is?

As you are a computer ace using a calculator should be no problem:
From Wikipedia:

# Length: 29,49 m = 2949cm; 2949 cm/ 48= 61,44cm (rounded up)
# Span: 17,32 m --> 36,09cm
# Height: 9,58 m -->19,96cm

rocket science .. I know

cheers

P.S. I have a Bone that is on hold. One reason being that I have no idea where to put it when it is done .... (the other is that I did not find suitable featherless burner cans ... sadly CE is oop)

Hi ds

I once worked for a company that had the slogan: Never stop thinking! .. I try to keep this as a motto, but often I am too lazy too

Still, my best tip for every model geek: do not turn off the brain when you pick up the instructions

all the best

Bit too late for me too !!,I`ve just finished two F-15`s in 1/32nd scale and have started on two Tornado`s in the scale when the SWMBO came into my workshop and said in THAT voice (you know - the honey`ied one thats harder than diamonds ) "Honey,where are gonna put those when there finished ?" (models are banned from the house).
