Work out model kit scale conversion instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
A scale of 1 to n means every real dimension is divided by n, so the model length is the real length over the scale denominator. Because volume scales with the cube of the ratio, a 1:24 model has only one 13,824th of the real volume, which is why detail parts get so small.
Model dimension
model = real dimension / scale denominator
model = real dimension / scale denominator. A scale of 1 to n means every real dimension is divided by n, so the model length is the real length over the scale denominator.

Enter real object length, scale denominator (1 to this). The defaults shown are a realistic worked example — swap in your own figures to get a result you can use.
