But 'officially', 28mm is 1:64. Just as 15mm is officially 1:100.<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1:64_scale<br /><br />If you've ever tried kit-bashing standard model kits for making 40K stuff, you'll find that they're all either 1:32, 1:48, or 1:72. Looking at the people figs they come with, 1:48 is obviously too big, while 1:72 is obviously too small. 40K is solidly in-between these at an official scale of 1:64, and an unofficial scale that's probably more like 1:55.<br /><br /> SandWyrmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02265244938930651317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-69365363860111238742012-11-12T08:59:59.939-05:002012-11-12T08:59:59.939-05:00II really do not think most matchbox/hot wheels ca...II really do not think most matchbox/hot wheels cars are really at 1:64 scale. Average car would be 2.5-3 inches long and almost 1 inch high. I think that they are really closer to 1:100.eriochromehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377904099582258296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-4043730266169611642012-11-11T23:06:35.148-05:002012-11-11T23:06:35.148-05:00I've seen this several places.

When did 1/64 become 28mm?<br /><br />I grew up collecting Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars, all marked as 1/64 scale diecast cars.<br /><br />28mm is a little too small to use with 1/48 scale models. I've read that 28mm would be closer to 1/50 to 1/56 scale.<br /><br />Jonjon23516https://www.blogger.com/profile/00321492738901183619noreply@blogger.com
