It's more to do mainly with Model railways scale, 1:48th is a quarter of an inch to the foot, it's a rare scale to work to now. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Even here in the states, in construction/architectural circles, it is common to refer to 1/4" = 1'-0" as 'quarter scale.' It is a common drawing scale.

Tony T Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I've always wondered if 1/72 was ever "sixth scale", 1/144 "twelfth scale" or 1/24 "half [an inch to the foot] scale". Of course, 1/35 means "takes two HP2 battieries" and 1/32 used to be known as "54mm" or "slot car scale". Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what Tony says we're getting the Phantom next year, the Jag is, hopefully, still coming from Kitty Hawk, sadly I think Trumpeter ruined any chance of a decent im Lightning. Then there's the early Harrier... Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I picked up from LSP, so it's mostly wishful thinking. Just hoping the 1/48 vier motors don't delay proceedings. Still a bit resistant to resin, mostly due to the need to use cyanoacrylate glue, but I mght have to change my ways. Tony Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive heard of people using UV activated gel glue to hold stubborn resin parts while the epoxy they used to hold it permanently dries. Some people don't recommend CA for resin at all. I personally have build (6 + at least) nearly every resin kit I've built ever with CA without issue. Although in your case, if its an allergy or what-not, then I can understand, and the above, or something like it may help you avoid the use of CA and still work with resin.
