Scales?
Hi again!
After read opinions i choose build an P51 Mustang. In my plans i have 1/12, 1/7 scales, but i´m not sure what plan its better.
My question is: can i redimensionat the plan 1/7 to 1/12, the pieces correspond. Because if i can do it i put the plans in the paper and it will better to build the airplane (the plans have different prespective of the aircraft).
Please help, i´m starting now and i need all the help!
Regards and i hope news from everubody.

RE: Scales?
Resizing plans is generally not a good idea. The wood sizes don't always rescale equally. You will end up with too much wood in some areas, and not enough in others. If the plans you have are not sufficient for you to build the plane, I would suggest you start with something more simple, or get a full set of plans in the scale you want to build.
