Does anyone have any photos to share comparing 3mm and 6mm ww2 aircraft?

Can't seem to find anything on the net.

Thanks

Sorry, I don't have any.

Suffice it to say though, that 3mm aircraft look to be about 1/4th of the size of 6mm ones (1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4), since you are looking at them from above, generally, and there is the whole length and width multiplier dynamic going on.

The "perceived" size difference, at least for me, is rather striking.

Agree with Mako11 and the issue becomes more confused because makers in each scale are not true to the size of other makers.

Sorry - only verified members can post on the forums.
